Use Me - Bill Withers

Sedate me Salacious, salty and sweet I'm overwhelmed by tasty thoughts of you Daydream My body's waving the white flag Take me, yeah, baby Now I know I'm sober It's just so profound That every wall I built up Has come crashing down Don't the waves pull the sand? Don't the moon pull the tide babe? Then I'm yours, yeah Use me (yeah) Wanna give you control With the lights on If I could just let go Forgive me, it's the very first time That I'm nervous, can I trust you, huh? Trust me, while I take this off With the lights on, 'cause it turns me on And we're nervous, just let me show you How to touch me, I could teach you, yeah Sensation As I place my tongue on your lips You're overwhelmed by everything I do, oh Curse me, yeah With such a beautiful nightmare Don't wake me, yeah, baby And now I know I'm sober It's just so profound, yeah That every wall I built up Has come crashing down Don't the waves pull the sand? Don't the moon pull the tide baby? I'm yours, yeah Use me, wanna give you control With the lights on (lights on) If I could just let go Forgive me, it's the very first time That I'm nervous, can I trust you, huh? Trust me, while I take this off With the lights on, 'cause it turns me on And we're nervous, just let me show you How to touch me, I could teach you, yeah Blissful collision as our bodies tangle, intertwine Biting your lip, baby, put me inside Crucified thoughts, tender moments on a ricochet Purging my mind of the power I own Falling to forever, just forgive me, I was faithless Danger in your eyes, baby, you can devour me Defile me, yeah Use me, wanna give you control With the lights on (lights on) If I could just let go Forgive me, it's the very first time That I'm nervous, can I trust you, huh?

You want to take me to a doctor To talk to me about my mind To try to give directions to some places That I don't really want to find Trouble in me is not related To things that I might say or do I'm really not that complicated Your good doctor friend, he oughta talk to you I notice that he can't remember Things that he never should forget Why does he spend his evenings smoking Them funny-smelling cigarettes? I have a friend that knows your best friend He goes some places where she goes He said he saw y'all at a party Sniffing white powder up your nose You got the nerve to call me narrow-minded 'Cause I'm not loose and indiscreet People lying down always get blinded By people standing on their own two feet Life is just a shadow That I just can't seem to find sometimes Oh Lordy, sometimes But I guess I'll make it 'Cause I found out that it's really in my mind Really all in my mind You shouldn't take it too seriously 'Cause it really ain't gon' last too long Really ain't gon' last too long You really only got two choices You can lay down and be weak Or you can stand up where you're at And still be strong Stand up and still be strong Hey, tomorrow depends too much on today And yesterday, all that gentleman is to you is gone All he is, is gone All you find out looking back Is the fact that both of us was wrong Both of us was wrong Hey, now you're talking right to me But you really ain't saying a thang You're pouring muddy water on me Trying to convince me it's rain Now you're talking to me crazy But you're trying to make me feel insane Oh Lordy, feel insane You're like a Sunday family Digging animals in a zoo But while you're looking at monkeys Monkey's looking dead at you Two people getting done Trying to figure out who's doing who If you're throwing dirt at people You got to get some dirt on you I got to take a ton of lies Just to get an ounce of truth from you You're like a man loving Jesus That says he can't stand a Jew Get on down and play the dozens Talk about your folks From your mama to your cousins You head down there Now you know what I'm talking 'bout Get on down and play the dozens Talk about your folks From your mama to your cousins You head down there Now you know what I'm talking 'bout
