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

Oh, 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?

Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo-
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart, when a heart can be broken?

Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo-
Oh, 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 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 that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

Oh, 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?

Oh, 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?

What's love got to do, got to do with it?
What's love but a second-hand emo-
Oh, what's love got to do, got to do with it?
Who needs a heart, when a heart can be broken?

Oh
Oh, what's love?
What's love?

    My Interpretation
    The song "What's Love Got to Do with It" by Tina Turner is about a woman who is trying to avoid getting involved in a romantic relationship. She is attracted to the man, but she is afraid of getting hurt. She sings about how love can be a "second-hand emotion" and how it can "break your heart." She is determined to be independent and not to let her emotions control her. The song was written by Terry Britten and Graham Lyle, and it was released in 1984. It was the title track of Turner's comeback album, Private Dancer. The song was a huge success, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States. It also won a Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance. The song's message is still relevant today. Many people are afraid of getting involved in romantic relationships because they are afraid of getting hurt. The song reminds us that love is a risk, but it is also a beautiful thing. We should not let our fear of getting hurt prevent us from experiencing the joy of love. Here is a more detailed interpretation of the song lyrics: Verse 1: The singer is attracted to the man, but she is afraid of getting involved in a romantic relationship. She sings about how love can be a "second-hand emotion" and how it can "break your heart." Chorus: The singer repeats the question, "What's love got to do with it?" She is trying to figure out why she is so attracted to the man, even though she knows that love can be dangerous. Verse 2: The singer sings about how she is trying to ignore her feelings for the man. She knows that she should not get involved, but she cannot help herself. Chorus: The singer repeats the question, "What's love got to do with it?" She is still trying to figure out why she is so attracted to the man. Bridge: The singer sings about how she has been hurt in the past. She is afraid of getting hurt again, but she is also afraid of missing out on the joy of love. Chorus: The singer repeats the question, "What's love got to do with it?" She is still trying to figure out what love means to her. Outro: The singer sings about how she is going to take a chance on love. She knows that it is a risk, but she is willing to take it. The song "What's Love Got to Do with It" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever been afraid of love. It is a reminder that love is a risk, but it is also a beautiful thing. We should not let our fear of getting hurt prevent us from experiencing the joy of love.
