(by Bill Withers)

My friends
feel its their appointed duty
they keep trying to tell me
all you want to do is use me
(ah ha) but my answer (ah ha)
yea to all the use me stuff

i-i-i and 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
til you use me up

my brother
sit me right down and he talked to me
(oh oh) and he told me (ah ha)
that i ought not let you just walk on me
and i am sure he meant well
yeah but when that talk was through
i-i-i said brother if you only knew
you would wish that you were in my shoes
oh you just keep on using me
until you use me up
til you use me up

(oh oh) sometimes
yeah its true you really do abuse me
(oh) you get me in a crowd of high class people (ah ha)
and then you act real rude to me
yeah (ah ha) but oh baby baby baby baby
when you love me i can't get enough

(oh oh) and 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
(ah) til you use me up

talking about you using me baby
it all depends on what you do
its ain't too bad the way your using me
cause i am sure am using you to do the things you do
ah to do the things you do
