About It's Only Love

"It's Only Love" is a song by Canadian singer and songwriter Bryan Adams, featuring American singer Tina Turner. Released as a single in 1985, the song was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and the accompanying video won an MTV Video Music Award for Best Stage Performance. It was the sixth and final single from Adams' album Reckless (1984) and was included on Tina Turner's live album Tina Live in Europe (1988), as well as being added to both artists' greatest hits compilations: Adams' Anthology (2005) and Turner's All the Best (2004). It reached number 15 in January 1986 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U. S. and number 29 in the UK. The 12" single included the 1985 live version that would later appear on the 1988 album Tina Live in Europe. Adams told Songfacts that this was his most memorable collaboration of all the ones he has done. He explained: "Working with Tina Turner was amazing. I used to go to see her in the clubs when I was in my late teens/early 20s before she hit the big time. It was incredible to watch her." He added: "It was such a privilege to have sung with her, especially since I was only 24 at the time."

When the feeling is ended 
There ain't no use pretending 
Don't you worry, it's only love 
When your world has been shattered 
Ain't nothing else matters 
It ain't over, it's only love 
And that's all 

When your heart has been broken 
Hard words have been spoken 
It ain't easy, but it's only love 
And if your life ain't worth living 
And you're ready to give in 
Just remember that it's only love 
Yeah, that's all 

You can live without the aggravation 
You gotta want to win, you gotta want to win 
You keep looking back in desperation 
Over and over and over again
