[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Oh 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're addicted to love
You might as well face it you're addicted to love

[Verse 2]
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 mind 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 it feels blue

[Chorus]
Oh 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're addicted to love
Gonna have to face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it
Might as well face it
Might as well face it
Might as well face it you're addicted to love

[Verse 3]
Your 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

[Chorus]
Oh 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 might as well face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it
Might as well face it you're addicted to love
Might as well face it
Might as well face it
Might as well face it
Might as well face it

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.
