Fiona Apple - Use Me

My friends
Think its their appointed duty
They keep tryin' to tell me
That you just want to use me
But my answer
To all that use me stuff

I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin' used
You just keep on usin' me
Until ya use me up

My brother
Sit me right down and he talked to me
And he told me
He thought I ought to not let you just walk on me
And I know, I know that my brother he meant well
But I don't know what's really true

I said brother
If ya only knew
You'd be wishin' that you were in my shoes
To keep on usin' me, keep on usin' me
Until ya use me up
Until ya use me up

Ahhuh, I tell you the truth, I tell you the truth
You really do, you really do abuse me
Ahh, ya get me in a crowd of high class people
And then ya gotta act all rude to me

Ahhuh, and I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin' used
Oh ya just keep on usin' me, on usin' me
Until ya use me up
Ah, until ya use me up

Stupid crowd

"You like Bill Withers?"

"Who is he?"

Fiona was probably like let me educate these idiots

Awesome cover

[BlackMirinda]

I`m listening to this track as a first-timer to Fiona`s music. I am a HUGE Bill Withers fan & the first two words she sang gave me GOOSE. BUMPS.

[sstyblo]

if two ppl openly admit to 'using eachothr'...is it really 'using' or its antithetic/oxy moron: altruistic using? Oh god, I'm so confused..

[aetommyboy]

Duet with Fiona and Bill would be amazingggggg.

@somada141 Lol, you gotta hear more from Fiona Apple...she is just an incredible soul, that makes INCREDIBLE soul music.

If you dont know that already, listen to ANY song by her. I'd suggest "Shadowboxer", "Love Ridden" , "I know", "Slow like Honey", and "Pale September". "First Taste" is my fave.

She never TRIES...she IS!

And Im sure you saw it like that because its very likely she was inspired by Bill Withers.

[BiggCaZ]

Wow, this is sexy for a completely different reason than Bill's version.

[HoichiTheEarless]

3:45 if i ever banged fiona apple, it would sound like this...she got heavy soul covering bill withers like that though, well done!

[asthebowlburns]

I love her she sounds kick ass so does Ben harper on this song!

[Music1sgreat]

@Swipich That's a vibraphone. Learn your shit before you critique something.

[pdog283]

@Swipich What's wrong with putting you own spin on a cover? She sounds like herself! To say that a pretty young white chick is trying to sound like Bill... whatta fucktard statement. Keystroke Kritics. Jesus fucking Chrysler just shut the fuck up and listen!

[TheMoritati]

@Swipich Completely agree about the damned vibes.

[Dazzer1234567]

girl, leave bill withers alone. This girl must have great marketing and producers behind her, 'cause this sucks harder then hard.
