Tearing Us Apart Lyrics

A modern man with an old-fashioned heart.
One look at her and I fell apart.
I was always the one playing it cool.
I got caught in the act, now there's no turning back.

[Chorus:]
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
I got caught up, bought up, strangled, tangled in love.
I got tangled in love, tangled in love.
A long black dress and the call of the wild.
I was a fool to think she was just a child.
Out of my mind, out of control.
Knew that feeling too well, tried to run but I fell.

[Chorus]

I never meant to feel this way,
Now I always want to stay

[Chorus]

I got tangled in love, tangled in love. [Repeat: x4]

Tina Turner sang with Clapton on this. She performed it at many of her concerts.

Clapton and Turner performed this in 1986 at The Prince's Trust Rock Gala in London's Wembley Stadium.

In 1993, Turner presented Clapton with the Record of the Year Grammy for "Tears In Heaven."

Clapton named the album after the month his son Conor was born. Sadly, Conor died when he fell out of a window in 1991.

Phil Collins produced this and played drums on it. He helped out Clapton on this and his previous album, Behind The Sun. Clapton played on Collin's first solo album in 1981.
