Tina Turner at the BBC (2021) Movie Script

I call you when I need you,
my heart's on fire
You come to me, come to me
wild and wild
When you come to me
Give me everything I need
Give me a lifetime of promises
and a world of dreams
Speak a language of love
like you know what it means
Mm, it can't be wrong
Take my heart
and make it strong, baby
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Tear us apart
Baby, I would rather be dead
In your heart I see the start
of every night and every day
In your eyes I get lost,
I get washed away
Just as long as I'm here in your
arms I could be in no better place
You're simply the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
Ooh, I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Don't tear us apart, no, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Each time you leave me
I start losing control
You're walking away
with my heart and my soul
I can feel you even when I'm alone
Oh, baby, don't let go
Ooh, you're the best
Better than all the rest
Better than anyone
Anyone I've ever met
Oh, I'm stuck on your heart
I hang on every word you say
Don't tear us apart, no, no
Baby, I would rather be dead
Ooh, you're the best!

Hey!
Whoo!
Goodnight!
You've been on your own
now for three years.
Has it been very difficult to
establish yourself as a solo artist?
Have you almost had
to start again in a way?
Exactly, starting again.
That's exactly what it was like.
Two years of that.
It was very difficult, but it's
sort of finally coming together now.
You feel you're surmounting it?
Yes. Hm.
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-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?
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-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?
Ooh, no!
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, 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?
Ooh, got to do with it
What's love got to do
got to do with it?
I was thinking about parking
the other night
We was out on the back road
Me and my baby
was just getting right
All systems on overload
Radio blasting in the front seat
Turning out the music fine
And we were snuggled up
in the back seat
Making up for lost time
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
You can wine and dine
with a man all night
With good intent
But there is something about
a confrontation on the back road
Breaks down the defence
Steamy windows
Zero visibility
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Take it out
There's a sound
outside the front door
And I know it's just the wind
But it makes him snuggle up
just a little bit closer
And starts things happening again
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Steamy windows
Ain't nobody can see
Steamy windows
Coming from the body heat
Steamy windows
Steamy windows
Steamy windows.
See reflections on the water
More than darkness in the depths
See him surface in every shadow
On the wind, I feel his breath
Goldeneye, I found his weakness
Goldeneye, he'll do what I please
Goldeneye, no time for sweetness
But a bitter kiss will bring him
to his knees
You'll never know how I watched
you from the shadows as a child
You'll never know how it feels
to be the one who's left behind
You'll never know the days,
the nights
The tears, the tears I've cried
But now my time has come
And time, time is not on your side
See him move through
smoke and mirrors
Feel his presence in the crowd
Other girls
they gather around him
If I had him
I wouldn't let him out
Goldeneye, not lace or leather
Golden chains take him to the spot
Goldeneye, I'll show him forever
It'll take forever to see
What I've got
You'll never know how I watched
you from the shadows as a child
You'll never know how it feels
to get so close and be denied
It's a gold and honey trap
I've got for you tonight
Revenge, it's a kiss
This time I won't miss
Now I've got you in my sight
With a goldeneye
Golden, goldeneye
With a goldeneye
Goldeneye.
Out from the wreckage
Can't make the same mistake
this time
We are the children
the last generation
We are the ones
they left behind
And I wonder when we are ever
gonna change
Living under the fear
until nothing else remains
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
the Thunderdome
Looking for something
we can rely on
There's gotta be something
better out there
Mmm
Love and compassion
Their day is coming
All else are castles built
in the air
And I wonder when we are ever
gonna change
Living under the fear
until nothing else remains
All the children say
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want
is life beyond the Thunderdome
So, what do we do with our lives?
We leave only a mark
Will our story shine like a light
Or end in the dark?
Is it all or nothing?
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
the Thunderdome
All the children say
We don't need another hero
We don't need another hero
We don't need to know the way home
All we want is life beyond
Thunderdome.
Tell me, lawyer, what to do
I think I'm falling
in love with you
Defend me from the way I feel
Won't you give me some advice
On how to handle my private life
I'm sure we can make a deal
I confess I'm a fool for men
With a clever mind
But your intellect ain't no match
for this heart of mine
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using
my female attraction
On a typical male
on a typical male
Your sense of justice
I'll embrace
But your defence
don't help my case
I'm deep in trouble with the law
Something about authority
Seems to bring out the bad in me
Hey, lawyer, gotta catch me
when I fall
Oh, they say that you match
your wits
With the best of them
But I know when I'm close
you're just
Like the rest of them
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using
my female attraction
On a typical male
on a typical male
So put your books aside
Loosen off the suit and tie
Gotta open up your heart
and let me in
Ohhh...
Open up your heart and let me in
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using
my female attraction
On a typical male
on a typical male
Ooh, a little reaction
I'm just using my feminine charm
On a typical male on a typical
All I want is a little reaction
Just enough to tip the scales
I'm just using
my female attraction
On a typical male on a typical
All I want, little reaction.
Every time I think of you
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standin' here
And you're miles away
And I'm wonderin' why you left
And there's a storm that's ragin'
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name
in certain circles
And it always makes me smile
I spend my time thinking about you
And it's almost drivin' me wild
And there's a heart
that's breakin'
Down this
long-distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Missing you
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
Missing you
No matter what I might say
Missing you
There's a message in the wire
And I'm sending you
this signal tonight
You don't know
how desperate I've become
And it looks like
I'm losin' this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard
to understand
And it's my heart that's breakin'
Down this
long-distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Missing you
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
Missing you
No matter what my friends say
Missing you
And there's a message
that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't
bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I ain't missing you at all
Missing you
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
Missing you
No matter what my friends say
I ain't missing you
Missing you
I ain't missing you
I can lie to myself
And there's a storm that's ragin'
Through my frozen heart tonight
I ain't missing you at all.
What was it about you, do you think,
that helps you survive? What is it?
Do you have time to hear? Yes.
Of course we have. No, gosh...
It was a lot, er...
I've always been a loner, really,
and I've always depended on myself.
And when a decision was to be made,
I simply need someone to,
basically, help me to do it
and that was my relationship
and partnership,
basically, with Roger Davies.
And, um, I would say my practising
my spiritual beliefs.
And I'm just kind of
a strong person.
I'm...
I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
Let me be the one
you come running to
And I'll never be untrue
Let's stay together Together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad
happy or sad
I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
Let me be
the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
You make me feel so brand-new
I want to spend
my whole life with you
Let's, let's stay together
Together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad
happy or sad
Good or bad, happy or sad
Oh!
Why, oh, tell me
why do people break up?
Turn around and make up
I just came to see
You'd never do
That to me
Would you, baby?
Cos being around you is all I see
So, baby, let's stay together
Together
Loving you whether, whether
The times are good or bad
happy or sad
Say, good or bad, happy or sad
Good or bad, happy or sad
Oh, yeah

Together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad
happy or sad
Good or bad, happy or sad
Good or bad...
Ohh-h-h-h-h
Happy or
Happy or
Happy or sad.
Oh, oh...
Women of a certain age
They learn to rely and judge
all his responses
Having played the mating game
She doesn't waste time
cos all that she wants is
Really honest emotions
Ones he can't help but show
Though I hardly know your name
I know about love and I know
I don't want to lose you
I don't even want to say goodbye
Oh, no!
I just want to hold on
To this true love, true love
Women who have made mistakes
Are a little afraid
they don't like taking chances
She will play the waiting game
She's never impressed
by those manly advances
I know I've only just met you
Maybe I should know better
But when you look at me that way
There's something inside
that's so right
I don't want to lose you
I don't even want
to say goodbye Oh, no
I just want to hold on
To this true love, true love
I don't want to lose you
And I always want
to feel this way, oh, yeah
Cos every time I'm with you
I feel true love, true love
true love
Tell me you're real
You're not pretending
Let's make a deal
cos my heart's depending
On you
Oh, baby
I don't want to lose you
I don't even want
to say goodbye, oh, no
I just want to hold on
To this true love, true love.
A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell
Captured...
Oh, yes, I'm touched
by the show of emotion
Should I be fractured
by your lack of devotion?
Should I?
Should I?
You better be good to me
That's how it's got to be now
Cos I don't have no use
For what you
loosely call the truth
And you'd better be good to me
Come on, come on, be good to me
I think it's, oh, so right
And we don't need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
Yes, I know
You keep telling me
that you love me
And I really do wanna believe
But did you think
I'd just accept you in blind faith
Oh, sure, baby
Anything to please you
But you'd better be good to me
That's how it's got to be now
Cos I don't have no time
for your overloaded lies
You better be good to me
Be good to me
And I really don't see
Why it's so hard to be good to me
And you know I don't understand
what's your plan
That you can't be good to me
Why can't you be
Be good to me?
Be good!
Good to me!
Be good to me!
Cos I don't have no use
for what you loosely call the truth
I don't have no time
for your overloaded lies
You better be good to me
Be good to me!
Good to me, good to me
Be good!
Good to me, good to me
Be good to me!
Good to me, good to me
Cos I don't have no use
for what you loosely call the truth
And I don't have
no time for your overloaded lies
You'd better be good to me
Good to me Good to me!
When I was a little girl
I had a rag doll
Only doll I've ever owned
Now I love you just the way
I loved that rag doll
But only now my love has grown
And it gets stronger in every way
In every way
And it gets deeper, let me say
Let me say
And it gets higher, day by day
Day by day
Oh, do I love you, my, oh, my
River deep, mountain high
If I lost you would I cry
Oh, how I love you, baby
baby, baby, baby
When you were a young boy
did you have a puppy
That always followed you around?
Well, I'm gonna be
as faithful as that puppy
No, I'll never let you down
Cos it goes on and on
Like a river flows
River flows
And it gets sweeter, baby
And heaven knows
Heaven knows
And it gets sweeter, baby
As it grows
Oh, do I love you, my, oh, my
River deep, mountain high
Yeah, yeah, yeah
If I lost you, would I cry?
Oh, how I love you, baby
Baby, baby, baby.
When I was younger
So much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help
in any way
Now those days are gone
I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my mind
And opened up the doors
Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate
you being round
Help me get my feet back
on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
And now my life has changed
in, oh, so many ways
My independence seems
to vanish in the haze
Every now and then
I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you
Like I never did before
Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate
you being round
Help me get my feet
back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate
you being round
Oh, help me, get my feet back
on the ground
Won't you please, please help me?
Won't you please, please help me?
Won't you please, please...
Mmm
Won't you please help me?
Help
You know!
Help Oh, oh, oh
Help Oh...
Help
Ah...
I think, in order for anyone
to be as successful
and earn it, it takes a lot of work
coming from the person.
I mean, some people are given
things in their life
and I don't even know
how that could probably feel,
because I've always worked for what
I've owned and what I get.
Once in a lifetime, you'll find
Someone to show you the way
Someone to make your decisions
But I let you lead me astray
Who did you think
you were foolin'?
Said you were missing me blind
But the truth is
I knew you were lying
You were using me time after time
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missing you
Missin' you
Won't look over my shoulder
Cos I know
that I can live without you
Oh, live without you
Oh, I can live without you
Time to move on with my life now
Leaving the past all behind
I can make my own decisions
It was only a matter of time
Sometimes I look back in anger
Thinking about all the pain
But I know
that I'm stronger without you
And that I'll never need you again
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missin' you
Missin' you
Won't look over my shoulder
Cos I know
that I can live without you
Oh, live without you
Oh, I can live without you
Without you Without you
Without you...
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missin' you
Won't look over my shoulder
Cos I know
that I can live without you
Oh...
When the heartache is over
I know I won't be missin' you
No, no Missin' you
Won't look over my shoulder
Cos I know
that I can live without you
Ye-ee-ee-ah-ah!
There's a pale moon in the sky
The kind you make your wishes on
Oh, like the light in your eyes
The one I built my dreams upon
It's not there any longer
Something happened somewhere
and we both know why
But me, I'm getting stronger
We must stop pretending
I can't live this life
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really want to fight
no more
Too much talking, babe
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really want to fight
no more
This is time for letting go
I hear a whisper in the air
It simply doesn't bother me
Oh, can't you see that
I don't care
Or are you looking
right through me?
It seems to me that lately
You look at me the wrong way
and I start to cry
Could it be that maybe
This crazy situation
is the reason why
Oh-oh!
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really want
to fight no more
Too much talking, babe
So, let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really want
to fight no more
Tired of all these games
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really want
to fight no more
It's time, I'm walking, babe
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really want
to hurt no more
This is time for letting go
Hanging on to the past
Only stands in our way
We had to grow
for our love to last
But we just grew apart, oh
I don't want to hurt no more
Oh, baby, don't you know
No, I don't want to hurt no more
Too much talking, babe
Don't care now who's to blame
I don't really want
to hurt no more
Time for letting go
I don't care who's wrong or right
I don't really want
to fight no more
Too much pain, baby
Let's sleep on it tonight
I don't really want
to fight no more...
I left a good job in the city
Working for the man
every night and day
I never lost
one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way
things might've been
Big wheel, keep on turning
Turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
River!
Do, do, do, do!
Do, do, do, do!
Bring it on!
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of tane
down in New Orleans
I never lost a minute of sleeping
Until I hitched a ride
on the riverboat queen
That wheel keep on turning
Turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Burning
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
River!
Do, do, do, do!
Do, do, do, do!
Come on!
If you come down to the river
I bet you gonna find
some people who live
You don't have to worry
if you got no money
People on the river
are happy to give
The wheel keep on turning
Turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
Burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
I tell you we're rolling
Rolling, rolling on the river
Woo!
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
River!
Do, do, do, do! Do, do, do, do!
Right on!
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river...
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Said rolling, rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling, rolling...
