Home › J › Janet Jackson › The Pleasure Principle (4:12)

You might think Im crazy but Im serious

Its 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 meters running so I got to go, now


Chorus:

Its the pleasure principle, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

Its the principle of pleasure, oh-oh

Its the pleasure principle, oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh


Its true you want to build your life on guarantees

Hey take a ride in a big yellow taxi

Im not here to feed your insecurities

I wanted you to love me

This has become an all too familiar scene

Its not the first time Ive paid the fare

Whered you get the idea of material possession?

Thank you for the ride nowhere

And oh my meters 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

Its the principle of pleasure oh-oh oh oh oh

Its the pleasure principle, principle

Oh ohhhh ohhhh oh


You might say that Im no good

I wouldnt trust your looks, baby if I could

I got too many things I wanna do before Im through

Its the pleasure principle, its the pleasure principle,

Its the pleasure principle

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

After all the love that weve been through

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

Its the pleasure principle, yeah yeah yeah yeah
