The Pleasure Principle

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, 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 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, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-hoo

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

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

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

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

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-da

It's the pleasure principle, it's the pleasure principle

Yeah, 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 (Oh-oh)

Love me, hey, yeah, love me, ooh-ooh

It's the pleasure principle

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
