[Verse 1]
There's a pale moon in the sky
The kind you make your wishes on
Oh, like the light in your eyes
The one I built my dreams upon
It's not there any longer
Something happened somewhere and we both know why
But me, I'm getting stronger
We must stop pretending, I can't live this life

[Chorus]
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more
Too much talking, babe
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more
This is time for letting go

[Verse 2]
I hear a whisper in the air
It simply doesn't bother me
Can't you see that I don't care
Or are you looking right through me?
It seems to me that lately (Seems to me that lately)
You look at me the wrong way and I start to cry
Could it be that maybe (Could it be that maybe)
This crazy situation is the reason why?

[Chorus]
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more
Too much talking, babe
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more
Time for letting go
Oh, baby, don't you know
That I don't wanna hurt no more?
It's time, I'm walking, babe
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more
This is time for letting go

[Bridge]
Hanging on to the past
It only stands in our way
We had to grow for our love to last
But we just grew apart
Oh, don't wanna hurt no more

[Chorus]
Oh, baby, don't you know?
No, I don't wanna hurt no more
Too much talking, babe
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really wanna fight no more
It's time, I'm walking, babe
So let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really wanna fight no more
This is time for letting go
No, I don't wanna hurt no more
Too much, hey, baby
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really wanna fight no more
'Cause this is time for letting go

[Outro]
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Hmm, so let it go

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.
