About Break Every Rule

"Break Every Rule" is a song by recording artist Tina Turner. It was the title track to both Turner's 1986 album of the same name and the name of her 1987-88 "Break Every Rule World Tour". It was released as a single in early 1987 to support the album and the tour. The song found limited success on the US and UK singles charts. The music video shows Turner performing on stage as well as behind-the-scenes footage of Turner and her band from the tour. The song was written by British composer and singer Rupert Hine and his then girlfriend Jeanette Obstoj, who had previously composed "I Might Have Been Queen" which was featured on Turner's Private Dancer album. The "Break Every Rule" 12" single included both an Extended Dance Mix and an Extended Rock Mix.

Every road that I walk
Every single flight I ever take
Though I'm thousands of miles away
In my mind every journey leads me closer to you
I've been all around this world
And I've been in far too many states
But I'm under your spell
I've made my mistakes, oh, you can probably tell

You're every dream that I dream
You're every beautiful thing I've ever seen
I'm always singing your praises
Counting the days away
I would be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you
I'm in love with you, baby
I'm gonna break every rule

Yes, I would be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you
I'm in love with you, baby
I'm gonna break every rule

I hope you can forgive
Every white lie I'm forced to tell
They say that everything's fair in love and in war
And I'm not above cheating for you
One night I'll catch you off your guard
And you will finally fall so hard
Strategically speaking, I'm already beaten
Oh, I'll surrender to you

You're every dream that I dream
You're every beautiful thing I've ever seen
I'm always singing your praises
Counting the days away
I would be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you
I'm in love with you, baby
I'm gonna break every rule

Yes, I would be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you
I'm in love with you, baby
I'm gonna break every rule

Yeah, I'd be your slave
I'd even be your fool
I'm so in love with you
I'm in love with you, baby
I'm gonna break every rule

Gonna break every rule
'Cause I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you, baby
Yeah, I'd be your slave
I'd be your fool
