Janet Jackson - The Pleasure Principle

Album:

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, then I said wrong

Which brings us to a stop

As the light is changing

Oh my meter's running so I got to go, now



Chorus:

It's the pleasure principle, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

It's the principle of pleasure, oh-oh

It's the pleasure principle, oh-oh oh-oh 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've paid the fare

Where'd you get the idea of material possession?

Thank you for the ride nowhere

And oh my meter's running, so I really have to go.



Repeat Chorus



I know what you mean to me

Baby this is nowhere

You what became between you and me

Human differential

It's the principle of pleasure oh-oh oh oh oh

It's the pleasure principle, principle

oh ohhhh ohhhh oh



You might say that I'm no good

I wouldn't trust your looks, baby if I could

I got too many things I wanna do before I'm through

It's the pleasure principle, it's the pleasure principle,

It's the pleasure principle

Baby you can hold me down, baby you can hold me down,

After all the love that we've been through

After all you put me through, love me, love me

It's the pleasure principle, yeah yeah yeah yeah
