Tina Turner - ''Private Dancer''

Well, 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 wanna 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
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
Deutschmarks 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
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

Tina Turner - ''The Best'' 
I call you when I need you

My heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me wild and wired
When 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
You're simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
And hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead
In your heart I see the star
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
You're simply the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
And hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
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
You're the best, better than all the rest
Better than anyone, anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
And hang on every word you say
Tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Oh! You're the best!

Tina Turner - ''What You Get Is What You See''

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 realise

What you get is what you see

Ain't nothing more to it
And if you wanna 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 wanna 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 wanna 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

What you get is what you see

Ain't nothing more to it
And if you wanna 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


In ''What You Get Is What You See'' - Tina Turner


Tina Turner - ''What's Love Got To Do With It''

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

In ''What's Love Got To Do With It'' – Tina Turner
