Use Me Up - Lake Street Dive

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 this 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 was right in front of me?

Now I am 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 give up

When I’m glad, I frown

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)

Well, 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 am 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)

'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…
