Pleasure Principle Lyrics

THE PLEASURE PRINCIPLE 

 Janet Jackson 

 Album: Control 

  

  

 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 

  

 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
