[edit] Music video

In the video Tina Turner is seen performing this song on stage at the Beverly Theater. A silhouette of Tina is seen in the background, then she proceeds down some steps to the stage. She is wearing a black leather jacket, and black skin tight knee length leather pants, with leopard print high heels and a spikey blond wig. Towards the end of the song a man appears on stage, grabs Tina's arms and Tina looks him in the eyes and sings the words "Why Can't You Be Good To Me" to him and then pushes the guy away. At the end of the song and video Tina disappears under the stage in a puff of smoke.
