What's Love Got To Do With It?
Tina Turner (Karaoke) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 ooo
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 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 ooo
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 oh oh 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 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
(What's love got to do) ooh 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 with it) got to do with it
(What's love)

Although your touch causes a physical reaction in me, it's just a natural response to the chemistry between us since we are attracted to each other even though we have opposite qualities. It may seem like there's something more meaningful, but we should ignore that feeling.

Love doesn't matter in this situation since it's just a fleeting feeling like any other emotion. We don't need to invest our hearts into each other since there's a chance they could get hurt.

I may appear confused when I'm with you, but it's a well-known feeling that I've read about. However, regardless of why I feel this way, there's something that you do that makes me feel good.

I've been changing my life recently, but it's scary to feel something for you since it might mean I'm vulnerable. I'm worried about protecting myself, so I'm hesitant to fully embrace these feelings.

Love doesn't have anything do with it since it's an outdated, romantic ideal. It's unnecessary to give our hearts away since they can easily be broken. The repetition of the question reflects the artist's skepticism towards the relevance of love.
