Influence

[ Featuring Wiz Khalifa ]

[Tove Lo:]
First line, take mine; I'm fine as f*ck
Love myself tonight and I think you can feel the same
Moonshine, good time; babe, you're in luck
'Cause I will do whatever comes to mind
You'll go insane

Things I say don't usually come easily
There's one thing I need you now to know 'bout me

You know I'm under the influence
So don't trust every word I say, I say
When I'm under the influence
It's a blur, but I want my way, my way
You know I'm under the influence
So don't trust every word I say, I say
Sounds good without making sense
It's a blur, but I want my way, my way
When I'm under the influence

Take off, liquor; I feel the beat
Hold onto the floor but I keep spinnin' round and round
Swing me, baby, back on my feet
Hiding in the crowd; we're making love without a sound

Things I say don't usually come easily
There's one thing I need you now to know 'bout me

You know I'm under the influence
So don't trust every word I say, I say
When I'm under the influence
It's a blur, but I want my way, my way
You know I'm under the influence (oh, oh)
So don't trust every word I say, I say
Sounds good without making sense (sounds good without making sense)
It's a blur, but I want my way, my way
When I'm under the influence

Boy meets, boy meets
Girl meets girl
This is the best place in the world, ooh
Boy meets, boy meets
Girl meets girl
This is the best place in the world, ooh
Boy meets, boy meets
Girl meets girl
This is the best place in the world

[Wiz Khalifa:]
So, intoxicated and faded, I'm in the club, barely made it
I see the look on your face and it says that you want it later
But you ain't too into waitin', I fly you to different places
Took all your crew and amazing cause they ain't doing the same shit
Barely knew what your name is, don't care who you just came with
Make a move and get famous, get your mission completed
Use the other politic or entertainment
I just got a couple things I wanna know cause everything is moving slow
I usually wouldn't ask this though

[Tove Lo & Wiz Khalifa:]
You know I'm under the influence
So don't trust every word I say, I say (Wiz Khalifa man)
When I'm under the influence
It's a blur, but I want my way, my way
You know I'm under the influence (boy meets, boy meets, girl meets, girl)
So don't trust every word I say, I say
Sounds good without making sense (boy meets, boy meets, girl meets, girl)
It's a blur, but I want my way, my way
When I'm under the influence

Lady Wood

Nothing but a dirty mind
Player burning bridges where she goes
Looking like the freak card kind
But no one standin' around him wants him close

Ooh, wh-why
Ooh, wh-why
White noise in my head, ego
Ooh, wh-why
Ooh, wh-why
Judge a babe who dance alone

I know what people say about you
They say the same about me
I don't care if it's all true
I want you hanging with me
I want you, I want you hanging with me
I want you, I want you hanging with me

Rumors are their only friends
Spread that shit around's what turns them on
I can see all eyes expand
Oh, they can't believe I take you home

Ooh, wh-why
Ooh, wh-why
White noise in my head, ego
Ooh, wh-why
Ooh, wh-why
Judge a babe who dance alone

I know what people say about you
They say the same about me
And I don't care if it's all true
I want you hanging with me
I want you, I want you hanging with me
I want you, I want you hanging with me

Perfect imperfections with mistakes and a unlearned lessons
Yeah, you give me wood
Give me lady wood
Dirty on the inside, damaged goods with nothing but pride
Yeah, you give me wood
Give me lady wood

I know what people say about you
They say the same about me
I want you
I know what people say about you
They say the same-
I don't care if it's all true
I want you hanging with me
I want you, I want you hanging with me
I want you, I want you hanging with me
I don't care if it's all true
I want you, I want you hanging with me

True Disaster

Pretty boys, they didn't teach me things I didn't know
They don't have the thing that I need, but they don't know they don't
You got that old thing about ya, and I can't hide my feels
Pretty girls, they always die out, need another sex appeal

I said come on, zero f*cks about it
Come on, I know I'm gonna get hurt
Come on, zero f*cks about it
Come on

Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster
Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster

Pretty girls, they like it fancy but you don't keep it clean
We get dirty and we go hard, some things we don't mean
Tell me "No one's gonna get ya", I'm just straight up mad
A fool in love rolled up beside me and you're just as bad

I said come on, zero f*cks about it
Come on, I know I'm gonna get hurt
Come on, zero f*cks about it
Come on

Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster
Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster

Keep playing it like
Keep playing it like
You keep playing it like (keep playing it like)
Keep playing it like
You keep playing it like
I'm gonna get hurt
I'm gonna get hurt
Ah, come on

Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster
You can be just what I want, my true disaster
Keep playing my heartstrings faster and faster (true disaster)
You can be just what I want, my true disaster

Keep playing it like
Keep playing it like (you keep, you keep, you keep playing it like)
You keep playing it like
Keep playing it like
You keep playing it like

Cool Girl

You can run free, I won't hold it against ya
You do your thing, never wanted a future
F*ck if I knew how to put it romantic
Speaking my truth, there's no need to panic

No, let's not put a label on it
Let's keep it fun
We don't put a label on it
So we can run free, yeah
I wanna be free like you

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy

Rules you don't like, but you still wanna keep 'em
Said you want fines for whatever reason
Show we can chill, try and keep it platonic
Now you can't tell if I'm really ironic

No, let's not put a label on it
Let's keep it fun
We don't put a label on it
So we can run free, yeah
I wanna be free like you

I'm a, I'm a, I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy

I got fever highs
I got boiling blood
I'm that fire kind
We could burn together

I'm a, I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy

I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Too cool for you
I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
I'm a I'm a cool girl, I'm a, I'm a cool girl
Ice cold, I roll my eyes at you, boy

Flickering, our eyes go wide
You giving me studded sight

[Joe Janiak & Tove Lo:]
Break away
All the things stopping me from letting go
Temperature is taking hold
Heart beating faster and faster
I'll be your (you'll be my) brand new disaster
But I don't know
Seems like what you're looking for

[Joe Janiak:]
What's you type, though?
Am I right? No

Dont Talk About It

Golden tables, broken mirrors, naked girls around
Young and scared of love affairs so keep your conscience down
The world is beautiful, believe it with another line
Keep it up, if you're lucky enough
You know you're winnin' at life

Piles of paper gonna make 'em roll around in it
Watch it dripping from her lips
And wash your sins with it
Know it's hazy, but amazing
Yeah, you like that shit
Keep it up, if you're lucky enough
You know you're winnin' at life

Safe with me
Move so free
Silently

Don't talk about it
Sweep it under the rug like we do, do
Don't talk about it
If you're sitting with us, then you're in too
We don't talk about it
Your medallion's blindin' your mind too
Know you're loving the highs
You get in-between the lines of a life you don't need

Don't talk about it
Sweep it under the rug like we do, do
Don't talk about it
If you're sitting with us, then you're in too
We don't talk about it
Your medallion's blindin' your mind too
Know you're loving the highs
You get in-between the lines of a life you don't need

Pretty faces, put in place
To match the scenery
Take our pics is like a fix for your anxiety
The world is beautiful, so why don't you feel anything?
Keep it up, when you gettin' that rush
You know you cash your way out

Safe with me
Move so free
Silently

Don't talk about it
Sweep it under the rug like we do, do
Don't talk about it
If you're sitting with us, then you're in too
We don't talk about it
Your medallion's blindin' your mind too
Know you're loving the highs
You get in-between the lines of a life you don't need

Don't talk about it
Sweep it under the rug like we do, do
Don't talk about it
If you're sitting with us, then you're in too
We don't talk about it
Your medallion's blindin' your mind too
Know you're loving the highs
You get in-between the lines of a life you don't need

(Pushing, pulling)
(Pushing, pulling 'til we die)
(Pushing, pulling)
(Pushing, pulling 'til we die)
We can take perfect pictures
(Pushing, pulling)
We can take perfect pictures all night
(Pushing, pulling 'til we die)
We can take perfect pictures
(Pushing, pulling)
We can take perfect pictures all night
(Pushing, pulling 'til we die)
You better keep a straight face 'fore the camera flashes
But your f*cked

Don't talk about it
Sweep it under the rug like we do, do
Don't talk about it
If you're sitting with us, then you're in too
We don't talk about it
Your medallion's blindin' your mind too
Know you're loving the highs
You get in-between the lines of a life you don't need

Don't talk about it

Imaginary Friend

People said you're not a superstar
Can't jump that far
You know better
Got my arm around with superglue
Come power through
Yeah, whatever

Crushing my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Feeling their doubt, shut them all out
Crushing my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Feeling their doubt, shut them all out
'Cause I need you

Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Keeping me dreaming
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)
Keeping me dreaming
(Don't you know I)
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)

Breaking bones to feel like I'm alive
How kids get high
Need a feeling
We want big things, but they make us small
No game at all
They don't feel it

Crushing my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Feeling their doubt, shut them all out
Crushing my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Feeling their doubt, shut them all out
'Cause I need you

Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Keeping me dreaming
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)
Keeping me dreaming
(Don't you know I)
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)

Crushing my heart, tear me apart
Hate on this world 'cause reality sucks
Crushing my heart, tear me apart
Feeling their doubt, shut them all out
Over, over again

(Don't you know I)
Keeping me dreaming
(Don't you know I)
Over, over again
(Don't you know I)
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Keeping me dreaming
Imaginary friend, stay with me 'til the end now
Over, over again

I don't know, I guess it's kinda like a voice in my heart
Reminding me that there's nothing to fear in the things I'm afraid of

Keep It Simple

I've been deep down in the dirt for some time
Not a clear song from my heart on my mind
Cause these are words that are clinging on for dear life
But I'm breathing, I'm breathing, I'm breathing

You got body and my knees they go weak
Lie awake and read your sex, I can't sleep
I wish I wanted what you want, not free yet
But I'm breathing, I'm breathing, I'm breathing

Let me keep it simple, so I don't have to face ya
Let it be just my call, cause I ain't ready for you
Let me keep it simple, so I don't have to face ya
Let it be just my call, cause I ain't ready for you

I ain't ready, I ain't ready, I ain't ready
I ain't ready, I ain't ready, I ain't ready
I ain't ready, I ain't ready, I ain't ready

I go to bed with you and dream about him
You think I want to, no I hate that he wins
Just to forget how f*cking broken I am
But I'm healing, I'm healing, I'm healing

Let me keep it simple, so I don't have to face ya
Let it be just my call, cause I ain't ready for you
Let me keep it simple, so I don't have to face ya
Let it be just my call, cause I ain't ready for you

I ain't ready, I ain't ready, I ain't ready
I ain't ready, I ain't ready, I ain't ready
I ain't ready, I ain't ready, I ain't ready

Physical to trick your heart
You are moving on
Physical to feel okay
That's what people say
Physical I better try
So this ain't goodbye
Physical to trick your heart
You are moving on (I ain't ready)
Physical to feel okay
That's what people say (I ain't ready)
Physical I better try
So this ain't goodbye (let me keep it simple)
Physical to trick your heart
You are moving on (let it be just my call)
Physical to feel okay
That's what people say
Physical I better try
So this ain't goodbye (I ain't ready for ya)

Let me keep it simple, so I don't have to face ya

Flashes

Just because I'm present
Don't mean I forgot about you back home
You think I'm surrounded
But babe, I do most of this alone

People come, I push them away
People talk, I know what they say
People come, I push them away
People talk, I know what they say
What about you?

When I f*ck things up
When I f*ck things up in front of camera flashes
What about you?
When all I built up
When all I built up with sweat, blood, tears just crashes
What about you?
What about you?

"Money is a problem"
You say in a way like I'm to blame
I don't really need them
All I want is for us to stay the same
What about you?

People come, I push them away
People talk, I know what they say
People come, I push them away
People talk, I know what they say

WTF Love Is

I got fire eyes, glitter in my tear lines
And I'm coming down, ready for some new sounds
And I'm holding up all that I can think of
But, where are you?
Where are you?

Oh, lonely babe, stranded on the dance floor
Look for me, I know that I'm a handful
But you get me, know what you signed up for
Live up to the best and the worst of your dreams

All the cards with all the love cliches
I wouldn't have it any other way
Shake your head, you don't believe this
Then what the f*ck do you think love is?
All the cards with all the love cliches
I wouldn't have it any other way
Shake your head, you don't believe this
Then what the f*ck do you think love is?

I can feel the lights tingling from the sunrise
And I see the signs clinging to our last nights
Thinking you and I, we are all the same kind
So where are you
Where are you?

Oh, lonely babe, stranded on the dance floor
Look for me, I know that I'm a handful
But you get me, know what you signed up for
Live up to the best and the worst of your dreams

All the cards with all the love cliches
I wouldn't have it any other way
Shake your head, you don't believe this
Then what the f*ck do you think love is?
All the cards with all the love cliches
I wouldn't have it any other way
Shake your head, you don't believe this
Then what the f*ck do you think love is?

With a hand like this I'm folding
All you need, yeah, I'll be holding
(What the f*ck do you think love is?)
With a hand like this I'm folding
All you need, yeah, I'll be holding
(What the f*ck do you think love is?)

Where are you?
Lonely babe
(Can't focus)
Look for me
(I lost you)
You get me
(What you wanted)
Live up to the best
Live up to the best and the worst of your dreams

All the cards with all the love cliches
I wouldn't have it any other way
Shake your head, you don't believe this
Then what the f*ck do you think love is?
All the cards with all the love cliches
I wouldn't have it any other way
Shake your head, you don't believe this
Then what the f*ck do you think love is?

Cling my hand like this and fold it
All you need, yeah, I'll be holding
(What the f*ck do you think love is?)
Cling my hand like this and fold it
All you need, yeah, I'll be holding
(What the f*ck do you think love is?)

Ah, f*ck!
Ugh, I need another

Back to: Tove Lo


Lady Wood is the second studio album by Swedish singer Tove Lo, released on 28 October 2016 by Island Records. Lady Wood is considered the first half of a two-piece concept album that describe "highs, lows and ultimate demise of a relationship." Its chapters "Fairy Dust" and "Fire Fade" precede the chapters "Light Beams" and "Pitch Black" from her following album Blue Lips (2017). It was recorded between July 2015 and May 2016, which Lo commented was a quicker turnaround than the "whole life" she was afforded when creating her previous record Queen of the Clouds (2014).

The tracks that begin each chapter are instrumental compositions by The Struts member Ludvig Södberg ("Fairy Dust"), and Ilya Salmanzadeh ("Fire Fade").Including the introductory tracks, Lo co-wrote the album's 10 songs. The album features new collaborations with producers Ilya, Oscar Holter, Oscar Görres, Rickard Göransson, and Joel Little, and guest vocals from rapper Wiz Khalifa, and fellow singer-songwriter, Joe Janiak. Two short films complemented the album's two chapters. The first, Fairy Dust, was released on 31 October 2016, and was followed by Fire Fade on 25 August 2017. These short films focus on a fictionalized, self-destructive version of Lo while expanding on the album's lyrical themes. Both short films were produced by Diktator, written by Lo and Tim Erem and directed by Erem.

"Cool Girl" was serviced as the lead single from Lady Wood on 4 August 2016, reaching number 15 in Sweden and number 84 on the US Billboard Hot 100. "True Disaster" was released on 15 November 2016 as the album's second single. The album peaked at number 11 on the US Billboard 200, becoming her highest-charting album in the country to date. To promote the album, Lo embarked on her second concert tour, Lady Wood Tour.
