[Verse 1]
Last night we tried to touch
But we never got close
Last night we tried to talk
The words got caught in our throats
When we finally fell asleep
We couldn't have been further apart

[Chorus]
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart?
Look me in the heart

[Verse 2]
You try to say that I'm hiding from you
You act like a spy, always looking for clues
You've read about my past
But why don't we try to make a new start?

[Chorus]
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart?
Look me in the heart

[Verse 3]
I remember how good we used to be together
I can remember, baby
So be tender, baby
Remember the love
We said would last forever
I know we can make it like that again

[Chorus]
Look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart?
Look me, look me in the heart
If you think that love is blind
Baby, look me in the heart
And you'll see that I'm so crazy about you, baby
And it's not in my mind
Can't you look me in the heart?
Look me in the heart
Look me in my heart, in my heart, in my heart

Tina Turner

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.
