Songs Lyrics: Janet Jackson

The Pleasure Principle

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 say 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 oh

It's the principle of pleasure, oh

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, ooh

It's the principle of pleasure ohh

It's the pleasure principle oh oh oh oh

I know what you mean to me

Baby this is nowhere

You know what became between you and me

Human differential

Da-da-da-da, baby

It's the principle of pleasure

Ohh, ohh-ah

It's the pleasure principle, principle

Oh oh oh oh

You might say that I'm no good

I wouldn't trust your looks baby if I could

I got so many things I wanna do

Before I'm through

Hey, ba-da-da-da-baby

It's the pleasure principle

It's the pleasure principle

Yeah, yeah, ay, yeah, yeah, ay

It's the pleasure principle

Baby you can't hold me down

Baby you can't hold me down

After all the lovin' we've been through

And after all you've put me through

Yeah yeah, hey yeah (oh)

Love me, hey yeah, love me yeah

Hoo hoo hoo hoo

It's the pleasure principle

Oh (yeah, yeah), oh (yeah, yeah), oh
