And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human

"Tina Turner's 'Private Dancer' is a song about a woman who dances in clubs for money, with the singer portraying the character of the dancer. The lyrics describe how the men that come to the club the dancer works at all look the same, with the dancer not bothering to look at their faces or ask for their names. The dancer views these men as inhuman and keeps her mind on the money, not considering them as individuals. The chorus repeatedly insists that the dancer is only there for money, and will do anything the client wants, regardless of the music playing.
The second verse of the song, however, has the dancer confessing her own desires, wanting to make enough money to live by the sea and start a family. Despite this, the dancer continues to view the men she dances for as commodities, suggesting that her desire for money is stronger than her desire for personal relationships. The spoken interlude in the middle of the song adds to this idea, with the dancer suggesting that she is using her clients as much as they are using her.
Overall, "Private Dancer" is a commentary on the objectification of women in the sex industry, and how this objectification can damage both the workers in the industry and the clients who participate in it.
