When you've been doing your best to follow the rules you were raised with, then someone comes along to change all that, and it feels really good...

BAD INFLUENCE
words and music by Erin Main and Rick Paul

I was raised by my mama's rules
All the things I'm supposed to do
Used to
Be in by ten o'clock
Be modest when I talk
Yeah, before you

My friends say I'm heading straight down the wrong road
But when I am with you I lose all control

You're my favorite bad influence
Got me doing all kinds of things I swore I'd never do
Been leaping past my limits, living on the edge
Again and again and again when I am here with you
We've been closing down bars, kissing in cars
Crossing lines I never thought I ever would
Ooh, you're such a bad influence
And it feels damn good

I've been letting down my guard
Following my heart
Being daring
Maybe you're just fooling 'round
And you're bound to let me down
And that scares me

But right now I'm having the time of my life
Feeling real naughty feels awfully nice

You're my favorite bad influence
Got me doing all kinds of things I swore I'd never do
Been leaping past my limits, living on the edge
Again and again and again when I am here with you
We've been closing down bars, kissing in cars
Crossing lines I never thought I ever would
Ooh, you're such a bad influence
And it feels damn good

Yeah, right now I'm having the time of my life
Feeling real naughty feels awfully nice

You're my favorite bad influence
Got me doing all kinds of things I swore I'd never do
Been leaping past my limits, living on the edge
Again and again and again when I am here with you
We've been closing down bars, kissing in cars
Crossing lines I never thought I ever would
Ooh, you're such a bad influence
And it feels damn good

Yeah, you're such a bad influence
And it feels so damn good
