Use Me Up
You're the kind of man
That takes what he can
And doesn't ask
Well, this trait I can't condone
But I am told that in this state
I acquiesce
Occasionally a man for free
Is exactly what I need
And how long has it been since I have given in
To what I see was right in front of me?
Now I am all alone and far from home
And I don't always know what's good for me
The more time that we spend in my bed
And you're playing with my head
I get turned around, around, round
'Cause you use me up
And you wear me down
When I'm ahead I give up
When I'm glad, I frown
Oh, I 'm this way and I'm that way
'Cause it's your way or the highway
'Cause you use me up (you use me up)
And you wear me down (and you wear me down )
Oh, you use me up (you use me up)
(And you wear me down)
Well, you're the kind of man
That wants what he can't have
And so he goes
I guess that I'm the same
So who's to blame?
Just the same, I'd like to know
Occasionally some room to breathe
Is exactly what I need
And how long has it been since I have had a friend
That'll make me see what's right in front of me?
Now I am all alone and far from home
And I don't always know what's good for me
The more time that we spend in my bed
And you're playing with my head
I get turned around, around, around
(Ooh )
'Cause you use me up ('cause you use me up)
And you wear me down (and you wear me down)
When I'm ahead, I give up (I'm ahead , give up)
When I'm glad, I'm frown (when I'm glad, I–)
Oh, I'm this way and I'mthat way (ooh)
'Cause it's your way or the highway (ooh)
Oh, you use me up ('cause you use me up)
And you wear me down (and you wear me down )
When I'm ahead, I give up (I'm ahead, give up)
When I'm glad, I'm frown (when I'm glad, I–)
Oh, I'm this way and I'm that way (ooh)
'Cause it's your way or the highway (ooh)
You use me up (you use me up)
And you wear me down ( and you wear me down)
Oh, you use me up (you use me up)
And you wear me down (and you wear me down)
Ooh...
