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
Ridin' in your limousine
We turned right
And I said wrong
Which brings us to a stop
And the light is changin'
Oh my meters runnin'
So I got to go now
It's the pleasure principle
Oh oh oh oh oh ah
Principle of pleasure
Oh ah
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
No my meters runnin'
So I've really got to go
It's the pleasure principle
Oh oh oh oh oh ah
The principle of pleasure
Oh ah
It's the pleasure principle
Oh oh oh oh oh ah
I know what you mean to me
Baby this is nowhere
You know it's the in between
you and me human differential
It's the principle of pleasure
Oh oh oh ah
It's the pleasure principle
principle oh oh oh oh ah
You might say
I'm no good
I wouldn't trust your looks
Baby if I could
I got so many things I
wanna do
before I'm through
Hey
It's the pleasure principle
The pleasure principle
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
It's the pleasure principle
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
