The Pleasure Principle Lyrics By 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’ve got to go now
    it’s the pleasure principle ohoh ohoh ohoh
    it’s the principle of pleasure ohoh
    it’s the pleasure principle ohoh ohoh

    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 ohoh ohoh ohohhoo
    it’s the principle of pleasure ohoh ah
    it’s the pleasure principle ohoh ohoh ohoh oh ahah

    i know what you mean to me
    baby this is nowhere
    you know what became between you and me
    human differential
    dida di dada
    it’s the principle of pleasure
    ohohah it’s the pleasure principle principle ohohah

    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 yay dida di dada
    it’s the pleasure principle it’s the pleasure principle
    yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
    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
    yeah yeah hey yeah ohoh
    love me hey yeah love me oohooh
    it’s the pleasure principle
    yeah yeah yeah yeah
