Janet Jackson - 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 and I said wrong which brings us to a stop
As the light is changing

Oh my meters running so I got to go now
It's the pleasure principle oh oh ohh
It's the principle of pleasure, ohh
It's the pleasure principle 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 hoo
It's the principle of pleasure
Ohh, ah
It's the pleasure principle oh oh, ohh, ah

I know, what you mean to me
Baby this is nowhere
You know what came in between you and me, human differential
Sa dat dit dit dit baby
It's the principle of pleasure
Oh, oh oh oh ah

It's the pleasure principle, principle
Oh oh 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, da dit da dit dat baby

It's the pleasure principle
It's the pleasure principle
Hey hey hey hey, hey hey hey hey

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
Hey hey hey, yeah
Love me, hey yeah, love me, yeah!
Hoo ooh ooh ooh
It's the pleasure principle
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah!
Oh

    I bet half these female rappers couldnt even do a back flip

  24. D.... B....

    you go girl

  25. L.... D....

    What little girl didn't want to be Janet Jackson watching this video and dancing along to it. A woman all by her lonesome owning her independence and just putting it all out there.. it was perfection. It pushed the boundaries of dance videos, because she couldn't dance at one time, but when she came out with this... boom.

  26. K.... ....

    2020 and still doesn’t get old 🔥

  27. K.... M....

    All of our 80's dance moves in one video. Janet actually thought she was fat, thus all the black clothes. Most of us thought we were fat in our 20's...that was good fat

  28. G.... L....

    What a nice video. @janetjackson

  29. B.... S....

    It it still my pleasure to watch this video till this day in Feb of 2020😘💕💯

  31. T.... C....

    Rocked that shit all by herself .

  32. T.... C....

    Fine as hell smh

  33. L.... T....

    The Guess Jeans those were our skinny jeans !!!! IOU sweaters

  34. T.... S....

    Janet Jackson looks good on this soundtrack-2/13/2020-

  35. S.... M....

    I was 6 when this dropped. That familiar tune brings back so many memories. I swear I miss the late 80's early 90's. Take me back!!😩

  36. J.... S....

    Those were the days Janet led the way. No comparisons not even close.

  37. J.... C....

    Dam Bobby Brown use to smash Janet wow

  38. L.... J....

    Pleasure Principal, Alright, If and Miss You Much ...some of Janet Jackson’s best dance routines.

  39. S.... Y....

    Mpls Sound 💯

  40. B.... H....

    Yep we're were fooled into thinking life was ok and peaceful. This world was a carefully constructed lie but oh what a good time to be ignorant.

  41. C.... P....

    You never really realized if you were around at the time when all of her material came out just how incredible she is.


    She's the female version of Michael, there's really no other way to put it.


    Here it is 2020, and there's still no female artist yet to date that can touch her.

  42. G.... C....

    This Has All The Elements Of AGood Video.

  43. G.... C....

    Purity, Her And Bruno Gonna Wreck It!!

  44. J.... R....

    The One Iconic Miss Jackson If You're NASTY A Legend

  45. C.... K....

    And I already got my ticket for the Black Diamond Concert!!!!!!

    my fav music

  70. C.... R....

    It's amazing how she kept a straight face knowing full well she didn't attempt that back flip.

  71. L.... C....

    I wonder if Janet Jackson looks back at this video and ask what the hell happened to me. Was it worth it Janet?

  72. C.... H....

    I like seeing all the music videos before the 2010 it's like you can see the passion in their movement and the music you can just hear they have pride in their work and took time on it

    I generally hate being born in the 2000s😂

  73. V.... B....

    Kindergarten time, afternoons in the house!

  74. l.... ....

    omg can i stan from 2019

  75. J.... H....

    She is the blueprint

  76. d.... h....

    OMG !!!

  77. J.... D....

    This was actually abt her hurt with James DeBarge during their marriage. She held back a lot of feelings. So with Jimmy & Terry they pulled it out. ❤it.

  78. C.... T....

    I forgot how good she could dance back then. Janet was hot then and she put guess jeans on the map. It's the principal of Pleasure."🔥🔥

  79. R.... H....
