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.
