And he keeps trying to tell me, All you wanna do is use me, But my answer to all that use me stuff, oh baby, Now I'm gonna to spread the news, That if it feels this good gettin' used Keep on using me 'til you've used me up. Use Me. Use Me. Mother sat down, And you know she told me, "If he can overcome you, all he's gonna do is use You", But my answer to all that use me stuff, oh baby. Now I'm going to spread the new. That if it feels this good gettin' used Keep on using me 'til you've used me up. Use Me. Use Me. Now I'm going to spread the news, That if it feels this good gettin' used Come on and keep on using me 'til you've used me up. Use Me. Sometimes it's true, You really do abuse me, I lost the only people, Who ever really didn't use Me, But oh baby, when you love me I can't get enough, oh baby. Now I'm going to spread the news, That if it feels this good gettin' used Well keep on using me 'til you've used me up. 'Til you've used me up, Come on and use me up. Use Me.
