Here's my final early release, Bill Withers' "Use Me" from my upcoming album "Paying the Bills." Although I don't actually condone this behavior, this tune just too much fun to sing. Enjoy! :)

lyrics

Well my friends
Feel it’s their appointed duty
They keep trying to tell me
All you want to do is use me
Well my answer
To all that “use me” stuff
Is that I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

My big brother,
He sit me right down and he talked to me
You know he told me,
That I ought not to let you just walk on me
I’m sure he meant well, yes,
But when our talk was through
I said, “Brother, if you only knew, you’d wish that you were in my shoes”
Just keep on using me,
Until you use me up,
Until you use me up

You know sometimes
It’s true you really do abuse me
You get me in a room with your fancy friends
And then you act real rude to me

But oh baby, baby, baby, baby
When you love me, I can’t get enough
Oh but I’m gonna spread the news That if it feels this good getting used
Just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up

Talking ‘bout you using me
Well, it all depends on what you do
It ain’t too bad the way you’re using me
Cause I sure am using you
To do the things you do
To do the things that you do
