The Pleasure Principle & So Excited (2006 BMAs) Songtext
von 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, 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
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
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
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

I know what you mean to me
Baby this is nowhere
You know 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, oh whoa

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
