The Pleasure Principle

Janet Jackson


You might think I'm crazy but I'm serious 
It's better you know now 
What I thought was happiness was only part time bliss 
You can take a bow 
It was all just one big night out on the town 
Riding in your limousine 
We turned right and I said wrong which brings us to a stop 
As the light is changing 

Oh my meters running so I got to go now 
It's the pleasure principle oh oh ohh 
It's the principle of pleasure, ohh 
It's the pleasure principle oh oh 

It's true you want to build your life on guarantees 
Hey, take a ride in a big yellow taxi 
I'm not here to feed your insecurities 
I wanted you to love me 
This has become an all too familiar scene 
It's not the first time I paid the fare 
Where'd you get the idea of material possession? 
Thank you for the ride nowhere 

And oh my meters running so I've really got to go 
It's the pleasure principle oh oh, oh hoo 
It's the principle of pleasure 
Ohh, ah 
It's the pleasure principle oh oh, ohh, ah 

I know, what you mean to me 
Baby this is nowhere 
You know what came in between you and me, human differential 
Sa dat dit dit dit baby 
It's the principle of pleasure 
Oh, oh oh oh ah 

It's the pleasure principle, principle 
Oh oh oh oh, ah 

You might say that I'm no good for you 
I wouldn't trust your looks, baby, if I could 
I got so many things I wanna do, before I'm through 
Hey, da dit da dit dat baby 

It's the pleasure principle 
It's the pleasure principle 
Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey 

It's the pleasure principle 
Baby you can't hold me down 
Baby you can't hold me down 
After all the love that we've been through 
After all you've put me through 
Hey hey hey, yeah 
Love me, hey yeah, love me, yeah! 
Hoo ooh ooh ooh 
It's the pleasure principle 
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah! 
Oh
