Can someone post Vanity's lyrics to "Under the Influence" & "Undress". It is most appreciated =)

Some... habits are too hard to break
You give in, then you're hooked on what you take...

Under The Influence

by Vanity (1986)

(written by T.Faragher/R.Nevil/T.Haynes)

Some habits are too hard to break
You give in,then you're hooked on what you take
Why don't you come close
I need an overdose
Because you've got me


(chorus)
You got me Under The Influence
of a four-letter word on my mind
You got me Under The Influence
and I'll do anything anytime

My empty nights you fill them up
I don't know when to say I've had enough
Intoxicate me with every kiss you've got
I know I must be

(chorus 2)
I must be Under The Influence
of a four-letter word on my mind
You got me Under The Influence
and I'll do anything anytime
I must be Under The Influence
of a love that gets sweeter than wine
You got me Under The Influence
and my willpower's so hard to find


(instrumental break)

Repeat chorus 2

Robbie Nevil, huh?

C'est la vie, c'est la vie...

yes,that's the one


I heard that,after 'Wild Animal' flopped,Motwon was determined to bring in outside songwriters/producers,which Vanity wasn't too happy about.

DavidEye said:

Yeah, and it did a lot of good, didn't it?

Pretty Mess was a modest hit -- performed better than any singles from the 2nd album, didn't it?

And then I thought I'd end a third sentence with, didn't it?

I don't know the chart numbers,but I don't think ANY of Vanity's solo singles were big hits.In my area,"Under The Influence" got about as much airplay as "Pretty Mess".It had a really outstanding video,filmed in black and white.It's a better song than "Pretty Mess" and I'm surprised it didn't do better on the charts.
