about

A studio session turns cathartic for Tina Turner, who finally rails against her husband Ike, after years of taking his abuse.

lyrics

No mountain I can’t climb
With my baby by my side
There’s no cross to bear, no storm that we can’t weather

Until the day I die
It’s me and you, it’s you and I
Oh who needs today when you’ve found your forever?

And if I’m running out-

Tina! You know that’s not gonna work for me. You gotta sing it like I told you to sing it, with grit, like your life depended on it. It’s a love song, girl - You gotta mean it!

Ah, alright boys, take it from the top.

Oh, like I mean it?
This time I’ll mean it.
1,2,3,4!

If I could imagine a life for us after today
I’d stifle the anger, I’d harness the pain
I’d say “yes sir” and keep pretending

But when I imagine you gasping for breath on the floor
As I’m gearing up for another world tour
Well I can see my happy ending

Well I’m the man who made you girl, you know that I could break you too

But someday you’ll be dead
So better days are ahead
I’m holding on
To when you’re gone
It’s getting me through the forever

Cause someday you’ll be dead
Well did you hear what I said?
I’ll laugh out loud
And stand all proud
Of making it through the forever

Now all I can hope for is seeing you rotting away
With all of the papers unable to say
A damn good thing about you baby

And don’t think I’m worried about the day that I die too
Cuz I won’t be staying the same place as you
But til then, only I can save me

Well I may not have a halo but I know that I don’t got no horns

Oh someday you’ll be dead
Can you get that through your head?
You think you’ve won
Just try to run
Forever remains undefeated

Yeah someday you’ll be dead
Wish it was before we were wed
So save your breath
Until your death
I’m telling you you’re gonna need it

Do you really think you can run off forever?
Make it on your own without us together?

No more beating when you’re dead
No more cheating when you’re dead
No songs, no dances, no more second chances, you’ll be dead

And though we all have to die
When I go, I’ll be immortalized
And I’ll live on for forever baby, you’re just gonna die
Now just watch me say goodbye
