"Don't Use Me" lyrics

Before I was in a rock n' roll band
I couldn't get the time of day
Now doin' everything I can
I thought I had it made
Strangers drop in and pretend they're me friends
People I don't even know
I want you, I need you, it's so hard to tell
What you're really thinkin' won't show

Don't abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you're tryin' to use me
Why don't you just go away?

You took me around and you showed me the town
I thought you were kind of nice
But if someone stepped in with more to show
You'd drop me without thinkin' twice
You tie yourself to my apron strings
Thinkin' your friends will be impressed
You get your way by bribin' me
Tellin' me I'm the best

Don't abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you're tryin' to use me
Why don't you just go away? Oh...

Who can I trust, where can I go
Is there someone who truly wants me?
Take me for what I am
That's the way it's gotta be
Rock n' roll love, you want so bad
Tellin' everybody you're mine
We both know deep down inside
That you're diggin' for every dime

Don't abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you're tryin' to use me
Why don't you just go away?
Don't abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you're tryin' to use me
Why don't you just go away?
