These metaphors of a relationship that has reached a downward climax and compared to a ride in a taxi while exuding determination ..a cry for love..and vulnerability. This song does it for me along with a dope video that makes my hairs stand up. Pure magic and vocal prowness.❤❤
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 say 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 oh It's the principle of pleasure, oh 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, ooh It's the principle of pleasure ohh It's 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 It's the principle of pleasure Ohh, ohh-ah It's the pleasure principle, principle Oh oh oh oh You might say that 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, ba-da-da-da-baby It's the pleasure principle It's the pleasure principle Yeah, yeah, ay, yeah, yeah, ay It's the pleasure principle Baby you can't hold me down Baby you can't hold me down After all the lovin' we've been through And after all you've put me through Yeah yeah, hey yeah (oh) Love me, hey yeah, love me yeah Hoo hoo hoo hoo It's the pleasure principle Oh (yeah, yeah), oh (yeah, yeah), oh
I love how we just make up words in our heads when it comes to lyrics and yet don’t realize that it isn’t what they’re saying. I swear music makes us think differently
