Schönes aus unserer Kindheit

All the men come in these places
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
You don’t think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

I’m your private dancer
A dancer for money
Do what you want me to do

I′m your private dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do

I wanna make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family

⨯


All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don′t look at their faces
And you don’t ask their names

I′m your private dancer
A dancer for money
I’ll do what you want me to do

I′m your private dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do

I’m your private dancer
Dancer for money
Do what you want me to do

Just a private dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do

Deutsche Marks or dollars
American Express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?
Oh

I′m your private dancer
A dancer for money
Do what you want me to do

Just a private dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do

All the men come in these places
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, ah
You don′t think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

I’m your private dancer
A dancer for money
I′ll do what you want me to do

I’m your private dancer
Dancer for money
And any old music will do

I′m your private dancer
Dancer for money
I’ll do what you want me to do

I′m your private dancer
A dancer for money
And any old music will do

I’m your private dancer, dancer for money…
I’m your private dancer, dancer for money…
I′m your private dancer, a dancer for money…
Just a private dancer, dancer for money..

Private Dancer ist das fünfte Soloalbum der US-amerikanischen Sängerin Tina Turner. Es ist ihr erfolgreichstes Album und verschaffte ihr weltweit den Durchbruch als Solokünstlerin.

Das Album besteht teils aus Neukompositionen, teils aus Coverversionen; am Songwriting-Prozess beteiligte sich Turner nicht. Musikalisch ist das Album von einem Mix von Rock, R&B-, Pop- und New-Wave-Elementen gekennzeichnet. Dies stellt eine Abkehr von den früheren Soul-Veröffentlichungen mit ihrem Exmann Ike Turner dar.
