You use me to get you anything you wanted. Oh, but I´m a changed man now, baby, And your other friend can get you what you want now.
If I go through those same things again, I´ll be worse off than I started.
Girl, you´re such a bad influence And you´ve got ways to make me do what you want. Girl, you´re such a bad influence; I´ve got to stay away.
I´ve been hurt in all of the worst kind of ways, And it´s you pretty baby, I´ve just got to stay away from. I won´t go through those same things again; I´m so glad that we parted.
Chorus
Somebody please, you´ve got to help me break away.
You know I don´t like this lonely feeling. It wasn´t meant to be this way. I won´t go through those same things again; I´m so glad we parted.
Chorus
You´re such a bad influence; And I have got to stay away. You´re such a bad influence; I´ve got to stay away from you, baby. I´ve got to stay away.
