Lyrics

My friends feel
it's their appointed duty
They keep tryna tell me
All you want to do
is use me
But my answer,
yeah to all that use me stuff
I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good
getting used
Oh, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

My brother
sit me right down
and he talked to me
He told me
that I ought not to let you
just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
Yeah, but when our talk
was through
I said, brother,
if you only knew
You'd wish that
you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

Sometimes, it's true
You really do abuse me
You get me in a crowd
of high-class people
And then you act
real rude to me
But, oh baby, baby,
baby, baby
When you love me,
I can't get enough
I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good
getting used
Girl, you just keep on
using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

Talkin' 'bout you
usin' people
It all depends on
what you do
It ain't too bad the way
you're usin' me
'Cause I sure am usin' you
to do the things you do
To do the things you do
