Use Me
Soulful Revelations: Embracing the Depths of Connection in Al Jarreau's 'Use Me'
Lyrics
My friends feel it's their appointed duty
Al Jarreau's friends believe it's their duty to warn him.
They keep trying to tell me all you want to do is use me
People advise Al Jarreau that someone is using him for their own benefit.
But my answer yeah to all that use me stuff
Al Jarreau's response to the warnings about being used.
Is I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Expressing the desire to share the positive experience of being used if it feels good.
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Encouraging the idea of being used repeatedly until exhausted.
Until you use me up
Reiteration of the idea of being used until exhausted.
My brother sit me right down and he talked to me
Al Jarreau's brother advises him not to let someone take advantage of him.
He told me that I ought not to let you just walk on me
The brother emphasizes the importance of not allowing mistreatment.
And I'm sure he meant well yeah but when our talk was through
Despite good intentions, the advice doesn't resonate with Al Jarreau.
I said brother if you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
Al Jarreau feels content in his situation, and his brother would envy him if he knew.
You just keep on using me until you use me up
Reiteration of the acceptance of being used until exhausted.
Until you use me up
Reaffirming the idea of being used until exhausted.
Oh sometimes yeah it's true you really do abuse me
Acknowledging that there are times when Al Jarreau feels abused.
You get in a crowd of high class people and then you act real rude to me
Describing disrespectful behavior in high-class settings.
But oh baby baby baby baby when you love me I can't get enough
Despite the mistreatment, Al Jarreau craves the love he receives.
I and I wanna spread the news that if it feels this good getting used
Expressing the desire to share the positive experience of being used if it feels good.
Oh you just keep on using me until you use me up
Encouraging the idea of being used repeatedly until exhausted.
Until you use me up
Reiteration of the idea of being used until exhausted.
Talking about you using me but it all depends on what you do
Discussing being used, but the acceptability depends on the circumstances.
It ain't too bad the way you're using me
Accepting the situation of being used, finding it not too bad.
Cause I sure am using you to do the things you do
Acknowledging mutual benefit in the relationship, as Al Jarreau is also using the other person.
Ah ha to do the things you do
Emphasizing the reciprocity in the relationship and the actions performed for each other.
