The Pleasure Principle lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Oh, my meters running, so I've got to go now

It's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o, oh-ooo

It's the principle of pleasure, oh-ooo

It's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

And oh, my meters running, so I've really got to go

It's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o, oh-ooo hoo

It's the principle of pleasure, oh-ooo ah

It's the pleasure principle oh-o, oh-o, oh-oh, ohh ah-ah

[Bridge]

I know, what you mean to me

Baby, this is nowhere

You know, what became between you and me

Human differential

Di-da, di da-daaa

Oh-o, it's the principle of pleasure (Yeah)

The pleasure principle, the pleasure principle (Di da-da, baby)

Oh-o (yeah), the pleasure principle

It's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o, oh-oh ohhh ah-ah

[Bridge 2]

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, di-da, di da-daaa

Oh-o, it's the pleasure principle (yeah)

The pleasure principle, the pleasure principle (Di da-da baby)

Oh-o, the principle of pleasure

The pleasure principle

[Outro]

(Oh-o) 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

(Oh-o) Love me, love me, yeah, love me, yeah!

Hoo-ooh, (Oh-o) ooh-ooh ooh ooh

(It's the pleasure principle, oh-o, oh-o, oh-oh ohh ah-ah)

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah!
