Everything SHE

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 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

Janet Jackson Performs Again, Nothing, and Nasty Live On American Idol

Bio Indepth

Janet was born Janet Damita Jo Jackson on May 16, 1966 in Gary, Indiana. Janet was the youngest of 10 children. Her nicknames are Dunk and J. She now stands 5-feet 4-inches. After her birth, her brothers formed a singing group called The Jackson 5. She lived at home with her mother and sisters while her brothers and father lived in Los Angeles. After her audition in 1977, Janet played the part of Penny Gordon on Good Times. She also made appearances on the hit TV show Diff’rent Strokes as Charlene Dupree, then on Fame. In September, 1984 she married James Debarge. But, then, in November, 1985, the marriage was annulled. She signed with A&M Records, and recorded her first solo album titled Janet Jackson. The album did poorly on the music charts. Two years later she recorded Dream Street which turned out to be another disaster. A year later she signed on Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to record a third album, this time called Control. It was a hit, selling 5 million copies in the U.S. alone, spawning six hits, and the #1 When I Think of You. Afterward, she fired her father, her manager to truly gain control. Janet was determined to make this happen again. She then recorded Rhythm Nation 1814. This time it sold 9 million copies in the U.S., a bigger hit than Control! She happened to fall in love with a dancer named René Elizondo, Jr. from one of LaToya Jackson’s music videos and later secretly married him in March of 1991. That same year she got a star on the Hollywood walk of fame! Janet went to work on her fifth album simply called Janet. It was her biggest hit to date selling over 10 million copies in the U.S. alone and includes her biggest hit single to date, That’s The Way Love Goes. Two years later she released a Greatest Hits album Design of a Decade which included two new hits Runaway and Twenty-Foreplay. Her seventh album The Velvet Rope clarified her pop culture status. In the midst of the release of The Velvet Rope, she divorced Rene Elizendo, which is when it emerged they had been secretly married for eight years. Janet recorded her eighth album All For You. She was honored by MTV as an MTV Icon. In 2004, Janet went to work on her next album Damita Jo – it was another hit.
