Story Behind The Song
I've always loved this song. I don't as a rule do covers, but while just jamming on this in the studio one evening I decided it would be a lot of fun to try it. Many thanks to the folks at Universal Music Group and The Harry Fox Agency for their assistance.

Lyrics
My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep tryin' to tell me all you want to do is use me
My answer to all this use me stuff
I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin' used
You just keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
My brother, he sat me right down and he talked to me
He told me
I ought not let you just walk all over me
And I'm sure he meant well
But when our talk was through
I said "Brother, if you only knew
You'd wish that you was in my shoes"
You just keep on usin' me
Until you use me up
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
But baby when you love me I 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
