[Intro — distorted vocal, rising synths]
They warned you…
You didn’t listen…
Now dance.
[Verse 1]
You heard the rumors down the line,
That trouble always follows mine,
Red lips, black boots, city glow,
You knew exactly where it’d go,
Every “don’t” becomes a dare,
You keep finding me somewhere,
One more smile across the room,
Like lightning waiting to consume,
[Pre-Chorus]
You say you’re leaving…
But your feet stay…
One more song…
One more mistake…
[Chorus]
I’m your bad influence,
Breaking all your common sense,
One more night,
Under neon lights,
You’ll be begging for an encore,
I’m your bad influence,
No defense against the suspense,
Lose control,
Heart and soul,
Tell me what you’re waiting for.
[Post-Chorus — crowd hook]
Bad…
Influence…
Hey!
Hey!
Everybody…
Bad influence!
[Verse 2]
Velvet midnight, crystal skies,
You can’t hide behind those eyes,
Every heartbeat tells the truth,
You came looking for an excuse,
Laughing while the records spin,
You already know you’ll give in,
Not because you have to stay,
Because you love the game we play,
[Pre-Chorus]
No regrets…
No disguise…
Read the answer in my eyes…
[Chorus]
I’m your bad influence,
Breaking all your common sense,
One more night,
Under neon lights,
You’ll be begging for an encore,
I’m your bad influence,
No defense against the suspense,
Lose control,
Heart and soul,
Tell me what you’re waiting for.
[Dance Break]
(Kick drum builds)
Bad…
Bad…
Bad influence…
Hands up…
One more time…
(Massive synth drop)
[Bridge — theatrical breakdown]
Maybe I crossed the line…
Maybe you wanted me to…
Maybe the city’s innocent…
Maybe we’re not.
[Final Chorus]
I’m your bad influence,
The spark behind your confidence,
Turn it up,
Fill your cup
With another taste of freedom,
I’m your bad influence,
Leave tonight with no excuses,
One more song,
Sing along,
We’ll remember this forever.
[Final Post-Chorus]
Bad…
Influence…
Oh-oh-oh…
Bad influence…
Dance…
Dance…
Dance…
[Outro — whispered]
They warned you…
You smiled anyway.
