There must be somethin' that we can share
Why is it all or nothin' everywhere
You got your life and I got mine
Why's our relationship hangin' on the line
I don't want to own you
I just want to know you
I just want to love you
More than words can say....

Baby, take another look at your heart
And tell me you don't want me
Baby, tell me you're not comin' apart
I can hold out 'til you break
Baby take another look at your heart
You're breakin' up, that's no surprise
So much invested in our so-called "love lives"
Give it up, heart over mind
You can't explain away
The tears you been cryin'
I don't want to own you
I just want to know you
I just want to love you
More than words can say

Bonnie Tyler (born Gaynor Hopkins) was born on June 8, 1951 in Skewen, Wales. She was one of the most famous singers in the 80’s and is known for her noticeably rough and husky vocals.

Her first single, charting at #9 in her home country, “Lost In France,” put her in the public eye. After a bit of silence throughout the late 70s and early 80s, her best-selling and best-performing single on the charts of all time, “Total Eclipse of The Heart,” was released. Her 5th album, Faster Than The Speed of Night, also topped the charts in a few countries possibly because it contained Total Eclipse. Another notable song, “Holding Out for a Hero,” was released one year later for the Footloose soundtrack.

Tyler married Robert Sullivan, an Olympic judo contestant in 1973. They have no children. As of 2018, she is 66 years old and still in good health.
