Tina's Wish

Tina Turner · Foreign Affair/what's Love Got To [2010]

I'm talking to the priest

The high priest

And everybody out there in the universe

If what I'm saying is wrong

Then tell me the right way to say it

Cause I wanna be made over



Paint me red, paint me green

Give me liberty, wash me clean

Make me over, make me nice

Cause when I'm done, Lord, I wanna be right



Hey Lord

Make me over, I wanna be made over

Hey Lord

Make me over, I wanna be made over



Make me smart, make me king

Give a lot, give me steam

I want eternal beauty, spiritual things

Cause when I'm done, yes I wanna be a good thing



Hey Lord

Make me over, I wanna be made over

Hey Lord

Make me over, I wanna be made over



I wanna go places, I wanna do some things

I wanna be a star, I wanna have a big name

But in my heart, let beauty reign

And when I'm done, I wanna have fame



Lord make me nice, Lord make me good

Give me power, give me love

I wanna be desireable, voluptous, tenderlized
