Use Me Lyrics

...USE ME... by Bill Withers
*from 'Still Bill' (1972)*
Intro:
*(Riff):
Verse 1:
#9
My friends,
#9
Feel it's their appointed duty.
#9
They keep trying to tell me;
#9
All you want to do is use me.
#9
But my answer,
#9
Yeah, to all that use me stuff,
Bridge 1:
E7#9 (n.c)
Is; 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,
E7#9 A7, E7#9 A7
Until you use me up.
Interlude:
Verse 2:
#9
My brother,
#9
Sit me right down, and he talked to me.
#9
He told me;
#9
That I ought not to let you just walk on me.
#9
And I'm sure he meant well,
#9
Yeah, but when our talk was through;
Bridge 2:
E7#9 (n.c)
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,
E7#9 A7, E7#9 A7
Until you use me up.
Interlude:
Verse 3:
#9
Oh, sometimes, yeah,
#9
It's true; you really do a-buse me.
#9
You get me in a crowd of high class people,
#9
And then you act real rude to me.
#9
But, oh baby, baby, ba-by,
#9
Baby, when you love me, I can't get e-nough.
Bridge 3:
E7#9 (n.c)
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,
E7#9 A7, E7#9 A7
Until you use me up.
Interlude:
Coda:
#9
Talking about you using me,
But it all depends on what you do.
#9
It ain't too bad, the way you're using me,
#
'Cos I sure am using you, to do the things you do,
#
Ah ha, to do the things you do.
