Spencer Sutherland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuz you know I know you're home alone I
Yeah I wanna take it slow you make it hard
We act like that woulda figure like that nah
Yeah you make me feel uncomfortable
But I love it
We see my headlights flashin' in the dark
Hey you know it's on
Those legs, those hips, those lips got me thinkin'
We could have some fun bae
We could have some fun
I'll dim the
You're lonely and I am alone
You know where I'm comin' from
Where I'm comin' from
Oh baby
You're a bad influence
Love the way you movin'
You're a bad influence
Love the way you do it
You got me feelin' some type of way (for real?)
Got me spendin' bills like no big deal nah
And now the devil's on my shoulder here to say
That I need satisfty my appetite now (Oh no no no no)
Baby you got me so dysfunctional
But I love it
Momma said it's not polite to make 'em wait
So you know it's on
Hey you know it's on
Hey you know it's on
Those legs, those hips, those lips got me thinkin'
We could have some fun bae
We could have some fun
I'll dim the
You're lonely and I am alone
You know where I'm comin' from
Where I'm comin' from
Oh baby
You're a bad influence
And girl I love the way you movin'
You're a bad influence
Love the way you do it
Oh I'm givin' in just to be your man woah
Yeah you had me right in the palm of your hand
You're a bad influence
And girl I Love the way you movin'
You're a bad influence
I love the way you do it
Baby you're a bad influence
Love the way you movin'
You're a bad influence
Love the way you do it
The lyrics to Spencer Sutherland's song Bad Influence depict a story of a man who cannot resist the temptation of a woman who is his "bad influence". He hops up in his car at 10 o'clock because he knows that the woman is home alone. The man wants to take it slow, but the woman makes it hard for him. Although she makes him feel uncomfortable, he loves it.
The man's momma said it's not polite to make them wait, so he knows that it's on. He is infatuated by the woman's legs, hips, and lips and is thinking about having some fun. The woman is a bad influence and makes him act dysfunctional, but he loves it. He's spending bills like it's no big deal and is giving in just to be her man.
The chorus of Bad Influence repeats the same line, "You're a bad influence, love the way you're moving, you're a bad influence, love the way you do it." This line emphasizes that he is aware of the woman's impact on him, but he is still under her spell.
Overall, the song Bad Influence is a cautionary tale about the power of temptation and how it can make even the best of us act out of character.
