美國歌壇巨星［珍娜傑克森］──合成流行／流行舞曲──［The Pleasure Principle／快樂原則］

You might think Im crazy, but Im serious

Its 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 say wrong which brings us to a stop

As the light is changing

Oh, my meters running so I got to go now

Its the pleasure principle, oh oh oh

Its the principle of pleasure, oh

Its the pleasure principle, oh oh

Its true you want to build your life on guarantees

Hey take a ride in a big yellow taxi

Im not here to feed your insecurities

I wanted you to love me

This has become an all too familiar scene

Its not the first time I paid the fare

Whered you get the idea of material possession?

Thank you for the ride nowhere

And oh my meters running so Ive really got to go

Its the pleasure principle oh oh oh, ooh

Its the principle of pleasure ohh

Its the pleasure principle 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

Da-da-da-da, baby

Its the principle of pleasure

Ohh, ohh-ah

Its the pleasure principle, principle

Oh oh oh oh

You might say that Im no good

I wouldnt trust your looks baby if I could

I got so many things I wanna do

Before Im through

Hey, ba-da-da-da-baby

Its the pleasure principle

Its the pleasure principle

Yeah, yeah, ay, yeah, yeah, ay

Its the pleasure principle

Baby you cant hold me down

Baby you cant hold me down

After all the lovin weve been through

And after all youve put me through

Yeah yeah, hey yeah (oh)

Love me, hey yeah, love me yeah

Hoo hoo hoo hoo

Its the pleasure principle

Oh (yeah, yeah), oh (yeah, yeah), oh
