[Verse 1]
You don't need to give me reasons
I'll understand
Somethings are best kept secret
And you've done all you can
I want no recompense
Just as much as you can give of yourself
If that makes sense

[Chorus]
I'll keep it confidential
Each secret confidential
It may come as some surprise
But I can stay secret from prying eyes
So don't worry, I'll keep it confidential
Between you and me

[Verse 2]
Go on tell me that you love me
Show me you dare
We may not venture out in public
At least I know, you care
It can't be guaranteed
Just give me what you can of yourself
That's all I need

[Chorus]
I'll keep it confidential
Each secret confidential
It may come as some surprise
But I can stay secret from prying eyes
So don't worry, I'll keep it confidential
Between you and me

[Verse 3]
No one will know
Who I am
I think it's possible only to love
(Each secret... confidential)
You play such silly games
But if everyone knew about us
I'd feel no shame

[Chorus]
I'll keep it confidential
Each secret confidential
It may come as some surprise
But I can stay secret from prying eyes
So don't worry, I'll keep it confidential
Between you and me

[Outro]
Each secret..confidential...oh yeah
Each secret..confidential

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.
