Bad Influence

[Verse 1: Symmetry]
I know I'm rough around the edges
Eyes of a monster
I got mirrors at home
I only come over to your place when it's late at night
Or your parents aren't home
I know I got awful habits and ugly stories
That are worse then my appearance alone
Your mom was asking if you'd been out with me
When she did your laundry and smelled my cologne
And that's one part my sweat
One part yours
One part mary jane and bedroom floors
Found a couple hits of acid in your pocket
And she don't need to ask you where you got it
You come from money and private schools
The cops are looking for me, can I confide in you
I robbed a couple houses
But what's that got to do with the way that I feel about you

[Chorus]
How could you bring me home to your mama
Lookin' like this, lookin' like this
She'll know I'm a bad influence
How could you bring me home to your dad
And expect a goodnight kiss, goodnight kiss
He'll know that I'm a bad influence

[Verse 2: Symmetry]
3 AM tapping on your window
Spent a couple days and I'm going crazy
Your dad says you're grounded til your 18
And you should stay far away from me
You think that I could crawl through your window
Would you lay with me? Because I been waiting here patiently
I'm sorry, did I get you in trouble?
When we're walking around, and people see your face with me
I sold my gun, because there might have been some bodies on it
I promise to stop selling everything besides chronic
Your mom has a lot to say about me but I'm honest
I feel like one day, all of that will be behind us
I think your dad is on his way down the stairs
He probably heard me laughing and he's coming for my head
So until he goes back upstairs and turns the lights off
I'll be the monster under your bed

[Chorus]
How could you bring me home to your mama
Lookin' like this, lookin' like this
She'll know I'm a bad influence
How could you bring me home to your dad
And expect a goodnight kiss, goodnight kiss
He'll know that I'm a bad influence

[Hook]
I'm a bad influence
I know that I'm always in trouble
I don't mean to get you in trouble too
Your mom and dad keep us apart and that always breaks my heart
Because I'm so in love with you

[Chorus]
How could you bring me home to your mama
Lookin' like this, lookin' like this
She'll know I'm a bad influence
How could you bring me home to your dad
And expect a goodnight kiss, goodnight kiss
He'll know that I'm a bad influence
