Tina Turner

[Intro]
Oh, there's something on my mind
Won't somebody please, please tell me what's wrong?

[Chorus]
You're just a fool, you know you're in love
You've got to face it to let it explode
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad
(One more time)
You know you love him, you can't understand (Tell me 'bout it)
Why he treats you like he do, when he's such a good man?

[Verse 1]
And listen, he's got me smiling when I should be ashamed
Got me laughin' when my heart is in pain
Oh no, I must be a fool
'Cause I'll do anything he wants me to, now how come?

[Chorus]
You're just a fool, you know you're in love (Tell me one more time)
You've got to face it to let it explode (Hey)
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad (One more time)
You know you love him, you can't understand
Why he treats you like he do, when he's such a good man?

[Verse 2]
And listen, without the man, I don't wanna live
You think I'm lyin' but I'm telling you like it is
He's got my nose open and that's no lie
And I, I'm gonna keep him satisfied

[Chorus]
You're just a fool, you know you're in love (Tell me one more time)
You've got to face it to let it explode (Oh how come?)
You take the good along with the bad (Tell me how come)
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad (One more time)
You know you love him you can't understand (Tell me 'bout it)
Why he treats you like he do, when he's such a good man?

[Verse 3]
And listen, ways of action speaks louder than words
The truest sound that I ever heard
I trust the man and all that he do
And I, and I'll do anything he wants me to, now how come?

[Chorus]
'Cause just a fool, you know you're in love (Tell me one more time)
You've got to face it to let it explode (Hey)
You take the good along with the bad
Sometimes you're happy and sometimes you're sad (Tell me one more time)
You know you love him, you can't understand (Tell me 'bout it)
Why he treats you like he do, when he's such a good man?

(Tell me) Du du du du
(Tell me one more time) Du du du du
(Hey) Du du du du
(Tell me one more time) Du du du du
Du du du du
Du du du

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.
