About What's Love Got to Do With It

"What's Love Got to Do with It" is a song recorded by the American singer Tina Turner, released in 1984. It was taken from her fifth solo album, Private Dancer and became Turner's most successful single. Although Turner had already scored a UK Top 10 and US Top 30 hit some months earlier with her rendition of "Let's Stay Together", "What's Love Got to Do with It" gave Turner her first and only US number one. The song ranked number 309 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time". It also ranked number 38 on the Songs of the Century list. It was the second-biggest single of 1984 in the US and the 17th-biggest in the United Kingdom. In 1993, the song's title was used as the title for the biographical film about Turner's life. In 2012, "What's Love Got to Do with It" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame giving Turner her third Grammy Hall of Fame Award.

You must understand though the touch of your hand 
Makes my pulse react 
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl 
Opposites attract 
It's physical 
Only logical 
You must try to ignore that it means more than that 

What's love got to do, got to do with it 
What's love but a second hand emotion 
What's love got to do, got to do with it 
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken 

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused 
When you're close to me 
If a tend to look dazed I've read it someplace 
I've got cause to be 
There's a name for it 
There's a phrase that fits 
But whatever the reason you do it for me 

What's love got to do, got to do with it 
What's love but a second hand emotion 
What's love got to do, got to do with it 
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken 

I've been taking on a new direction 
But I have to say 
I've been thinking about my own protection 
It scares me to feel this way 

What's love got to do, got to do with it 
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion 
What's love got to do, got to do with it 
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken
