The Pleasure Principle

Lyrics

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

 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
 
 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

 We turned right, then I said wrong
 Which brings us to a stop
