Tina Turner

You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposittes attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If a tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

Been so long since I left you
Do all the things you used to do
In all this time I can't forget you
Everywhere I turn I think of you
And I, I wanna trust you baby
You, you're all I need

Soul to soul, Fire to fire
Nothing like this man's desire
Love is a beautiful thing
One and one, you and me
Baby it's our destiny
Love is a beautiful thing

Love is such a sweet emotion
I wanna share it all with you
With your trust and endless devotion
There ain't nothing in this world we can't do
Tonight, I wanna thank you baby
You, you make my life complete

Soul to soul, fire to fire
Nothing like this man's desire
Love is a beautiful thing
One and one, you and me
Maybe it's our destiny
Love is a beautiful thing

Tonight, I wanna thank you baby
You, you make my soul complete

Soul to soul, fire to fire
Nothing like this man's desire
Love is a beautiful thing
One and one, you and me
Maybe it's our destiny
Love is a beautiful thing

See reflections on the water
More than darkness in the depths
See him surface and never a shadow
On the wind I feel his breath

Goldeneye, I found his weakness
Goldeneye, he`ll do what I please
Goldeneye, no time for sweetness
But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees

You`ll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You`ll never know how it feels to be the one who`s left behind
You`ll never know the days and the nights, the tears, the tears I`ve cried
But now my time has come and time, time is not on your side

See him move through smoke and mirrors
Feel his presence in the crowd
Other girls they gather around him
If I had him I wouldn`t let him out

Goldeneye, not lace or leather
Golden chain take him to the spot
Goldeneye, I`ll show him forever
It will take forever to see what I`ve got

You`ll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child
You`ll never know how it feels to get so close and be denied
It`s a gold and honey trap I`ve got for you tonight
Revenge is a kiss this time I won`t miss
Now I`ve got you in my sight

With a goldeneye
Golden, goldeneye
With a goldeneye, goldeneye

Should've never made eye contact
Should've been a heart of stone
When you stopped me to say hello
Would've been twice as easy
To just say no
Cause I don't wanna lose at love again
But as a couple we were quite handsome
And the moon was out that night
So we let our hearts go dancing
If that thing is missing in my life

There's not enough romance in this world
There's not enough romance in this world
There's too many people thinking only of themselves
You gotta give love for its return

Wanna sing about new lovers
Stand up against the odds
Nothing can change a thing that strong
And myself I know my emotions
I got my love to share
And when you need something so tender
What you're looking for is so rare

There's not enough romance in this world
There's not enough romance in this world
You gotta believe in what your heart tells you is right
And i'm here to say that i believe in love

We take a lot of chances playing some foolish games
But that's the only price that you gotta pay
We gotta keep believing hungry hearts run free
Everybody needs a good loving
It's anything you want it to be

I was thinking about parking the other night
We was out on a back road
My and my woman was just getting' right
All systems on overload
The radio blasting in the front seat
Turning out the music fine
We was snuggled up in the back seat
Making up for lost time

Steamy windows - zero visibility
Steamy windows - coming from the body heat

You can wine and dine a woman all night
With good intent
But there's something about a confrontation on a back road
Breaks down the defense

Steamy windows - ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows - coming from the body heat

There's a sound outside the front door
And I know it's just the wind
But it makes her snuggle up just a little bit closer
And it starts things happening again

Steamy windows - zero visibility
Steamy windows - coming from the body heat
Steamy windows - steamy windows

When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown

And it gets stronger, in every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
And it gets higher, day by day

And do I love you my oh my
Yeah river deep mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

When you were a young boy
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well I'm gonna be as faithful as that puppy
No I'll never let you down

Cause it grows stronger, like a river flows
And it gets bigger baby, and heaven knows
And it gets sweeter baby, as it grows

And do I love you my oh my
Yeah river deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

I love you baby like a flower loves the spring
And I love you baby just like Robin loves to sing
And I love you baby like a school boy loves his pet
And I love you baby, river deep mountain high

Do I love you my oh my, oh baby
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh how I love you baby, baby, baby, baby

A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell
Oh yes I'm touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should I, should I?

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have no use
For what you losely call the truth
You better be good to me

I think it's also right
That we don't need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
And I know you keep telling me that you love me
And I really do wanna believe
But did you think I'd just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me

And I really don't see why it's so hard to be good to me
And I don't understand what's your plan that you can't be good to me
What I can't feel I surely cannot see, why can't you be good to me
And if it's not real I do not wish to see, why can't you be good to me

Some boys got the look of a Greek Adonis
Some boys try to talk you off your feet
Some boys they're gods gift to woman
Some boys think they're sweet enough to eat
Try to change the habit of a lifetime
Don't even try
Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing
You realize

What you get is what you see
Ain't nothing more to it
And if you want to love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I don't want your kind of love

Some guys got lips that you can't help kissing
And some guys got a smile you can't resist
Some guys gotta build a reputation
They just want to add you to the list
You got a lot of physical attraction
I can't deny
But can you guarantee me satisfaction
While I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting

What you get is what you see
Ain't nothing more to it
And if you want to love a woman like me
It takes a man to do it
If what you get is what you see
Then I don't want your kind of love

So let me see your cards on the table
Before I buy
I always read the writing on the label
So give me reason to believe there's more to you than meets the eye

You must understand though the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposittes attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If a tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

I want to make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

Deutch marks or dollars
American Express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?

Out of the ruins
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake this time
We are the children
The last generation
We are the ones they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome

Looking for something we can rely on
There's got to be something better out there
Love and compassion, their day is coming
All else are castles built in the air
And I wonder when we are ever gonna change it
Living under the fear till nothing else remains
All the children say

We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome

What do we do with our lives
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a life
Or end in the dark
Give it all or nothing

There's a pale moon in the sky
The kind you make your wishes on
Like the light in your eyes
The one I built my dreams upon
It's not there any longer
Something happened somewhere
And we both know why
But me, I'm getting stronger
We must stop pretending
I can't live this life

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't realy wanna fight no more (Too much talking babe)
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more (This is time for letting go)

I hear a whisper in the air
It simply doesn't bother me
Can't you see that I don't care
Or are you you looking right through me
Seems to me that lately
You look at me the wrong way and I start to cry
Could it be that maybe
This crazy situation is the reason why

I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't reaaly wanna fight no more (Too much talking babe)
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more (Tired of all these games)
But baby don't you know
That I don't wanna hurt no more (It's time, I'm walking babe)
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more (This is time for letting go)

Hanging on to the past
It only stands in our way
We had to grow for our love to last
But we just grew apart
No, I don't wanna hurt no more

But baby don't you know
No I don't wanna hurt no more (Too much talking babe)
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more (Tired of all these games)
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no mor

On the wind I feel his breath

Goldeneye, I found his weakness
Goldeneye, he`ll do what I please
Goldeneye, no time for sweetness
But a bitter kiss will bring him to his knees

You`ll never know how I watched you from the shadows as a child

You`ll never know the days and the nights, the tears, the tears I`ve cried

Revenge is a kiss this time I won`t miss
Now I`ve got you in my sight

With a goldeneye
Golden, goldeneye
With a goldeneye, goldeneye

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, oh tell me, why do people break up
Turn around and make up
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would you baby?
Cause being around you is all I see

So baby let's we all stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

[CHORUS]
I CAN`T STAND THE RAIN
AGAINST MY WINDOW
BRINGING BACK SWEET MEMORIES
I CAN`T STAND THE RAIN
AGAINST MY WINDOW
BECAUSE HERE`S NOT HERE WITH ME

HEY WINDOW PAIN
DO YOU REMEMBER
HOW SWEET IT USED TO BE
WHEN WE WERE TOGETHER
EVERYTHING WAS SO GRAND
NOW THAT WE`VE PARTED
THERE`S ONE SOUND THAT I JUST CAN`T STAND

The lights are on but you're not home
Your mind is not your own
Your body sweats, your body shakes
Another kiss is what it takes
You can't eat, you can't sleep
There's no doubt you're in deep
Your throat is tight, you can't breathe
Another kiss is all you need

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff, oh yeah
It's closer to the truth, you know
You're gonna have to face it
You might as well face it, you're addicted to love

You see the signs but you can't read
You're running at a different speed
Your heart beats at double time
Another kiss and you'll be mine
One-track mind, you can't be saved
Another young love is all you crave
And if the sun left you
You don't mind if you do

You like to think that you're immune to the stuff oh yeah
It's closer to the truth, you see
You're gonna have to face it
You're gonna have to face that you're addicted to love

You might as well face it, you're addicted to love

I call you,when i need you my heart′s on fire
You come to me, come to me, wild and wild

You come to me, give me everything i need
Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams
speak a language of love like you know what it means
And it can′t be wrong, take my heart and make it strong, baby

chorus:
You′re simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone
i′ve ever met!
I′m stuck on your heart, i hang on every word you say
tear us apart, baby i would rather be dead

In your heart i see the start of every night and every day
in your eyes, i get lost, i get washed away
just as long as i′m here in your arms i could be in no better place...

Chorus:
You′re simply the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone
i′ve ever met!
I′m stuck on your heart, i hang on every word you say
tear us apart, baby i would rather be dead

Each time you leave me i start losing control, you′re walking away with my
heart and my soul, i can feel you even when i′m alone, oh baby don′t let go!



and your the best, better than all the rest, better than anyone, anyone i′ve
ever met!
I′m stuck on your heart, i hang on every word you say
tear us apart, baby i would rather be dead, ooh you′re the best!

Y' know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy
But there's just one thing
You see we never ever do nothing
Nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're gonna take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're gonna do the finish rough
This is the way we do 'Proud Mary'

And we're rolling, rolling, rolling on the river
Listen to the story

I left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way things might have been

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Till I hitched a ride on a riverboat queen

Big wheel keep on turning
Proud mary keep on burning
And we’re rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river

If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find some people who live
You don’t have to worry if you got no money
People on the river are happy to give
