Use Me

[Intro: David Sanborn]

He's one of the most soulful and talented musicians around

Doing the Bill Withers tune "Use Me," please welcome D’Angelo

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1: D'Angelo]

My friends, mmm, feel it's their appointed duty

They keep tryna tell me

All you wanna do is use me, mmm

Well, my answer, ah-ah, of all that use me stuff

[Chorus: D'Angelo]

I, I said 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

[Verse 2: D'Angelo]

My brother, sit me right down and he talked to me

Hе's tryna me I, I, I, that I oughta not let you just walk on me, yеah, no

And I’m sure he meant well

Yeah, but when our talk was through, oh

[Chorus: D'Angelo]

I, I said, brother, if you only knew

You'd wish that you was in my shoes

Just keep on using me

Until you use me up

Ah, until you use me up

Hey, ah-ah, ah, ah, hey, won't you play a little bit

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: D'Angelo]

Oh, oh-oh-oh, sometimes, mmm, mmm

It's true, you really do abuse me, mmm, oh

You get me in a room of high-class people

And then you act real rude to me, hey

Oh, oh baby, baby, baby, baby

When you love me, I can't get enough, ooh-ooh

[Chorus: D'Angelo]

I, I, I, I, I wanna spread the news

That if it feels this good getting used

Oh, you just keep on using me, huh

Well, 'til you use me up, oh

Ah, until you use me up

Oh, oh, ow

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: D'Angelo]

Oh, oh, I, I wanna spread the news

That if it feels this good getting used

Oh, you just keep on using me, huh

'Til you use me up
