Pardon my obsession with anything Vanity, but I love this track. My favorite single from her behind "Mechanical Emotion." Very smooth track, and her biggest hit, peaking at #9 R&B, and #56 on the Hot 100.

I LOVE this song. It's by far my favorite single by her, and I love everything she did, so that's saying a lot. Of course musically, just about anything that was ever associated with Prince had to have an immense amount of talent and creativity so the production aspect was always on point but additionally what makes this song so addictive is the hook which is just insane. She didn't have the greatest vocals, but she nails this one.
Thanks for sharing that video by the way. YouTube is a godsend. There are so many videos on there that you could never find anywhere else no matter how hard you looked. The video isn't that bad for an 80's video from someone as quirky as her. Usually those types of videos were so ridiculously out there, but this one is good.

YouTube rocks, plain and simple. I've seen videos on there I haven't seen in almost 20 years, and some that I've never seen at all.

I'm sorry it took so long, I completely forgot. Here you go:
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
'CAUSE YOU GOT ME
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
I MUST BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF A FOUR LETTER WORD ON MY MIND
YOU'VE GOT ME UNDER THE INFLUENCE
AND I'LL DO ANYTHING, ANYTIME
YOU'VE GOT ME UNDER THE INFLUENCE
OF A LOVE THAT GETS SWEETER THAN WINE
YOU'VE GOT ME UNDER THE INFLUENCE
AND MY WILL POWER'S SO HARD TO FIND
