What's love got to do with it-Tina Turner-Album-"Private Dancer".Released June 4, 1984.

Tina Turner, along with then-husband Ike, first charted in the United States in 1960 with the single "A Fool in Love". "What's Love Got to Do with It" went to number-one in the US on September 1, 1984, 24 years afterward. Another notable fact is that Turner was 45-years-old when the song hit number one, making her the oldest solo female artist to place a number-one single on the US Hot 100.

You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it`s only that thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract

It`s physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that

Oh whats love got to do with it
What`s love but a second hand emotion
What`s love 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 i 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 for it
But whatever the reason
You do it for me

I`ve been thinking of a new direction
But i have to say
I`ve been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel that way

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