Lyrics:
'My friends feel it's their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me
All you want to do is use me
But my answer, yeah to all that use me stuff
I want to spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
You just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
Yeah, but when our talk was through
I said, brother, if you only knew
You'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me
Until you use me up
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, oh baby, baby, baby, baby
When you love me, I can't get enough
I want to spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Girl, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talkin' 'bout you usin' people
It all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're usin' me
Cause I sure am usin' you to do the things you do'
To do the things you do

@therealdibabe 4 года назад

My Mom is Rosalie Trombley and she was the Music Director at CKLW through the mid-60’s to the late 80’s. When Bill was first starting out and trying to get AirPlay, she started to play his songs. CKLW had a lot of influence then and even though it was a Canadian Radio station, other stations across the mid-west would watch what she added every week and her ability to pick hit songs became legendary. She loved Bill’s voice and the airplay Bill got on CKLW lead to other stations adding his records and they all became big hits. My Mom is now 80 years old and in failing health. I know she would be deeply saddened to know that Bill died today. He is a legend and an icon. His voice and his gentlemanly disposition will be missed. Condolences from the Trombley family today to to Bill’s family members. RIP Bill, you will be missed my so many around the world. May your music always live on. 🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
