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.
