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.
