[Verse 1]

Some habits are too hard to break

You give in, then you're hooked on what you take

Why don't you come close?

I need an overdose

'Cause you've got me


[Chorus]

You've got me under the influence

Of a four-letter word on my mind

You've got me under the influence

And I'll do anything anytime


[Verse 2]

My empty nights, you fill them up

I don't know when to say I've had enough

Intoxicate me with every kiss you've got

I know I must be


[Chorus]

I must be under the influence

Of a four-letter word on my mind

You've got me under the influence

And I'll do anything anytime

I must be under the influence

Of a love that gets sweeter than wine

You've got me under the influence

And my willpower's so hard to find


[Instrumental Break]


[Chorus]

You've got me under the influence

Of a four-letter word on my mind

You got me under the influence

And I'll do anything anytime

I must be under the influence

Of a love that gets sweeter than wine

You've got me under the influence

And my willpower's so hard to find


[Instrumental Break]


[Interlude]

You've got me under the influence (Influence)

You've got me under the influence (Influence)


[Chorus]

I must be under the influence

Of a love that gets sweeter than wine

You've got me under the influence

And my willpower's so hard to find

You've got me under the influence

Of a four-letter word on my mind

You've got me under the influence

And I'll do anything anytime

I must be under the influence
