[Intro – Close-mic, teasing female whisper; sparse kick and rubbery bass] [Verse 1 – Playful, rhythmic, low-register delivery] You came in with your good intentions All pressed shirt and best behavior Two drinks in, you're asking questions Like I'm somebody you should pray for I didn't make you cross the room Didn't tell you what to do You keep looking for a warning Baby, I'm looking at you [Pre-Chorus – Percussion builds; vocals become sharper and more melodic] You say you never do this I say, "Never do what?" You say, "I'm usually careful" I say, "Careful of what?" One hand on the exit One foot on the floor You're telling me you're leaving While you're asking me for more [Chorus – Explosive, syncopated vocal hook; bouncy bassline] Don't blame me, I just turned the lights down You were already halfway out of line Don't blame me, you could've walked right out But you came back around for another time Bad, bad influence That's what you call it Bad, bad influence You started all of it [Post-Chorus – Minimal vocal chops; aggressive, elastic bass drop] (Bad-bad, bad-bad) Who's influencing who? (Bad-bad, bad-bad) I didn't make you move [Instrumental Drop – Warped bass stabs, metallic percussion, chopped vocal fragments; unexpected rhythmic stops] [Verse 2 – Sly, conversational, building confidence] Your friends are sending little messages "Where'd you go?" and "Are you coming?" You type three dots, then you delete them Guess the conversation's running You keep saying I'm a problem With a smile you can't disguise Funny how you found the trouble Then looked pleased with your surprise [Pre-Chorus 2 – Tighter, with call-and-response backing vocals] You say, "This isn't like me" (Then who is it like?) You say, "I should be going" (Then why stay the night?) No one's holding the door shut No one's counting to three You can keep your reputation Just don't put it on me [Chorus – Full groove with layered vocal harmonies] Don't blame me, I just turned the lights down You were already halfway out of line Don't blame me, you could've walked right out But you came back around for another time Bad, bad influence That's what you call it Bad, bad influence You started all of it [Post-Chorus – aggressive, elastic bass drop] (Bad-bad, bad-bad) Who's influencing who? (Bad-bad, bad-bad) I didn't make you move [Breakdown – Kick disappears; intimate whispered vocals over sub pulse] Let's get one thing straight. I never said I was good. [Silence] You just assumed. [Build – Accelerating percussion, pitch-bent synth rising, chopped whispered syllables] Good intentions... Bad decisions... Good intentions... Bad decisions... [Final Chorus – Maximum energy; doubled lead, octave harmonies, bass counter-melody] Don't blame me, I just turned the lights down You were already halfway out of line Don't blame me, you could've walked right out But you came back around for another time Bad, bad influence That's what you call it Bad, bad influence You started all of it [Outro – Bassline strips down; one final close-mic whisper] You were behaving... What happened?
