(1, 2, 3, 4...)
Well, well, my friends, a-ha
Feel it's their appointed duty
Oh, they keep trying to tell me, ah-ah
All you want to do is use me
Yeah, yeah, but my answer
Yeah, to all that "use me" stuff
Hey, hey, is I want to spread the news
Spread the news, it's a-good getting used
Oh, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Ha, ha, 'til you use me up
Oh, my big brother, ah-ha-ha
Sit me right down in the room and talked to me
Ah, you know he told, ah-ha
Yeah, that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well, ah-huh-ha-ha
Yeah, but when our talk was through
Yeah, I said, "Brother, if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes"
You just keep on using me
Uh-huh, until you a-use me up
Hey, and ya know, sometimes, ha
Hey, it's true, you really do abuse me
You like to get me among your high-class friends, uh-ha-ha
Hey, hey, then you act real rude to me
Uh-huh, but, oh, baby – baby, baby, baby
When you love me, I can't get enough
Hey, hey, and I want to spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Oh, you just keep on using me like you wanna me, ah
Yeah, hey, 'til you use me up
Uh-huh, 'til you use-a me up
Yeahh, now you're 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 that thang you do
Hey, hey, do the thang you do
Get it, James, get it, James!
Get 'em now, Benor'
Oh!
And you know sometimes
Hey, it's true, you really do abuse me
You like to get me among your high-living friends, uh-huh
Hey, hey, then you act real rude to me
Hey now, ow, but, oh, baby – baby, baby, baby
When you love me, I can't get enough
Hey, hey, and I want to spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used (C'mon, y'all!)
Just keep on usin' me – yeah!
Until you use me up
(Ya'll know this last part, let's do it together)
Talkin' 'bout you usin' people
It all depends on a-what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're usin' me
'Cause I sure am usin' you to do them thangs you do
Hey, hey, do them thangs you do
(Yes, lord...)
