Use Me Up

You're the kind of man that takes what he can and doesn't ask
Well, this trait I can't condone, but I am told that in the state I acquiesce
Occasionally, a man for free is exactly what I need
And how long has it been since I have given in
To what I see, what is right in front of me?

Now, I'm all alone and far from home
And I don't always know what's good for me
The more time that we spend in my bed
And you're playing with my head
I get turned around, around, 'round

'Cause you use me up and you wear me down
When I'm ahead, I get up, when I'm led I'm found
Oh, I'm this way, and I'm that way
'Cause it's your way or the highway

'Cause you use me up (you use me up)
And you wear me down (and you wear me down)
Oh, you use me up (you use me up)
(And you wear me down)

When you're the kind of man that wants what he can't have, and so he goes
I guess that I'm the same, so who's to blame?
Just the same, I'd like to know
Occasionally, some room to breathe is exactly what I need
And how long has it been since I have had a friend
That'll make me see what's right in front of me?

Now, I'm all alone and far from home
And I don't always know what's good for me
The more time that we spend in my bed
And you're playing with my head
I get turned around, around, around

Ooh-ooh-ooh

'Cause you use me up ('cause you use me up)
And you wear me down (and you wear me down)
When I'm ahead, I give up (I'm ahead, give up)
When I'm glad, I'm frown (when I'm glad, I-)
Oh, I'm this way, and I'm that way (ooh)
'Cause it's your way or the highway (ooh)

Oh, you use me up ('cause you use me up)
And you wear me down (and you wear me down)
When I'm ahead, I give up (I'm ahead, give up)
When I'm glad, I'm frown (when I'm glad, I-)
Oh, I'm this way, and I'm that way (ooh)
'Cause it's your way or the highway (ooh)

You use me up (you use me up)
And you wear me down (and you wear me down)
Oh, you use me up (you use me up)
And you wear me down (and you wear me down)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
