Written by Bill Withers
lyrics
My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep tryna tell me
That all you wanna do is use me
Oh, but my answer to all that use me stuff
I said
I wanna spread the news
That if if feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me
Till you use me up
Till you use me all up
My brother sat me right down and he talked to me
Yeah, and he told me
that I ought not let you just walk on me
I'm sure that he meant well
Yeah, yeah, but when our talk was through
I said
Brother, if you only knew
you'd wish that you were in my shoes
in my shoes
You just keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
Till you use me all up
Oh, 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
I said, Baby! Baby! Baby! Baby!
When you love me you can't get enough
I said
I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin' used
You just keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
Till you use me all up
Talkin' 'bout you usin' me
But it all depends on what you do
Ain't too bad the way you're usin' me
Cos I sure am usin' you
To do the things you do
Talkin' 'bout you usin' me
But it all depends on what you do
Ain't too bad the way you're usin' me
Cos I sure am usin' you
To do the things you do
I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin' used
You just keep on usin' me
Keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
Till you use me all up
Use me up now...
Till you use me all up
They keep tryna tell me
That all you wanna do is use me
Oh, but my answer to all that use me stuff
I said
I wanna spread the news
That if if feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me
Till you use me up
Till you use me all up
My brother sat me right down and he talked to me
Yeah, and he told me
that I ought not let you just walk on me
I'm sure that he meant well
Yeah, yeah, but when our talk was through
I said
Brother, if you only knew
you'd wish that you were in my shoes
in my shoes
You just keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
Till you use me all up
Oh, 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
I said, Baby! Baby! Baby! Baby!
When you love me you can't get enough

I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin' used
You just keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
Till you use me all up
Talkin' 'bout you usin' me
But it all depends on what you do

Keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
Till you use me all up
Use me up now...
Till you use me all up
