What You Get Is What You See

About What You Get Is What You See

"What You Get Is What You See" is a song by recording artist Tina Turner from her album Break Every Rule (1986). The song was written by the Terry Britten and Graham Lyle team and was notably different from the three previous singles that they had written for Turner, "What's Love Got to Do with It", "We Don't Need Another Hero" and "Two People", as it was an up-tempo country-tinged rock track featuring Eric Clapton on guitars. Tina Turner said in an interview that "What You Get Is What You See" is her favorite song from the album. The 12" single included three versions of the song, the Extended Dance Mix, the Extended Rock Mix and a live version recorded in London in November 1986. A different live recording of the song was later used as the opening track on Turner's 1988 album Tina Live in Europe. She also included it in her 2009 live album Tina Live. It was recorded during Turner's hugely successful 50th Anniversary Tour. The track is from the March 21, 2009 live show at the GelreDome in Arnhem, Netherlands. The music video for the song was directed by Peter Care. more »

Some boys got the look of a Greek Adonis 
Some boys try to talk you off your feet 
Some boys they're gods gift to woman 
Some boys think they're sweet enough to eat 
Try to change the habit of a lifetime 
Don't even try 
Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing 
You realize 

What you get is what you see 
Ain't nothing more to it 
And if you want to love a woman like me 
It takes a man to do it 
If what you get is what you see 
Then I don't want your kind of love 

Some guys got lips that you can't help kissing 
And some guys got a smile you can't resist 
Some guys gotta build a reputation 
They just want to add you to the list 
You got a lot of physical attraction 
I can't deny 
But can you guarantee me satisfaction 
While I'm still waiting, waiting, waiting

What you get is what you see 
Ain't nothing more to it 
And if you want to love a woman like me 
It takes a man to do it 
If what you get is what you see 
Then I don't want your kind of love 

So let me see your cards on the table 
Before I buy 
I always read the writing on the label 
So give me reason to believe there's more to you than meets the eye
