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

Jelani Apr 13, 2011 - 15:15	I love this tune and this singer, but when Mick came out with his version done with Lenny Kravits on guitar and backing vocals, this was totally eclipsed for me. [ Reply ]
HearsayDave Mar 13, 2011 - 05:51	One of the prime funk beats. [ Reply ]
bam23 Feb 09, 2011 - 19:09	Every single time I hear this song, I am taken back to a brief snippet of time, northern Ohio in the summer, probably 1972, sharing what was alleged to be red dirt marijuana (Terry Southern out of context?) and this song on the radio. Probably WMMS. I guess it was pretty good stuff to have emblazoned this song so deeply. Great song, regardless of the context. [ Reply ]
