[Verse 1]
Oh baby, oh baby
The sun goes down and the moon comes up
My heart is pumping for you, and the mad thing starts yeah

[Chorus]
Ohho..yeah, never in your wildest dreams
Did you ever get this feeling
Never in your wildest dreams, oh no
Never in your wildest dreams could it ever be this easy
Never in your wildest dreams, oh no

[Verse 2]
Oh baby, oh baby
The night is hot outside your window
I hear people walking, people talking
I smell your skin, I feel you breathing
Don't let me go, not yet, not yet, not yet

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Oh baby, oh baby
The world is slowly turning
As it turns I see your face, touch your eyes, your lips, space space
We've arrived at the place where they open the hearts
And fill them up with love, filled with love, filled with love
This one's pumping for you, as the mad thing starts

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[text in (..) translated: sung by Antonio Banderas in Spanish
(We've arrived at the place where they open the hearts
And fill them up with love, filled with love, filled with love
This one's pumping for you

[Chorus]

Often dubbed the Queen of Rock & Roll, Tina Turner is arguably among the most iconic of female divas in history, with her prolific career and memorable personality as a performer and a public figure. Hailing from a small town in Tennessee, and born Anna Mae Bullock, Turner has cemented herself as one of music’s greatest entertainers.

Turner’s career in music arose from her frequenting of nightclubs near St. Louis, where she would meet her soon-to-be husband Ike Turner, who would also give her the alias “Tina”. With Ike, she would form the famous Ike And Tina Turner Revue. A dynamic, explosive R&B ensemble, the two became the definition of the genre in the late 60s and early 70s, where R&B/Soul had only tiptoed into the realms of the mainstream. A particularly influential act in popularizing the genre, the Revue went on to release some of music’s most memorable and iconic tracks – a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Proud Mary”, the Phil Spector-penned “River Deep – Mountain High”, and the electric “Nutbush City Limits”. After a host of drug and abuse problems on Ike’s part, with the male Turner eventually engaging in a violent altercation with his wife, Tina decided to leave her husband for the solo life – and it worked.

As a solo artist, with the help of fellow artists like glam rocker David Bowie, Turner tumbled into mainstream success in the 80s with the only number-one hit of her career – the unconquerable love ballad “What’s Love Got To Do With It” as part of her debut solo album, Private Dancer.
