[Originally by Bill Withers]

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 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 sits 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 
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me 
You get 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 
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up 
Until you use me up 
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do 
It ain't too bad the way you're using me 
Causes I sure am using you to do the things you do 
Ah ha to do the things you do
