You use me up.
You use me down.
You use me like a clown.
You'll never stop using me.
As long as I'm around.

[Stanza 1]

I thought you were my friend.
My partner to the end.
But you done cheated me.
Broken. while you bend.

[Chorus]

You use me up.
You use me down.
You use me like a clown.
You'll never stop using me.
As long as I'm around.

[Stanza 2]

I was so open.
To all you asked.
Little did I know.
That it wouldn't last.

[Chorus]

You use me up.
You use me down.
You use me like a clown.
You'll never stop using me.
As long as I'm around.

[Stanza 3]

Now I am way down.
Deep in the blues.
With nothing left.
For you to use.

[Chorus]

You use me up.
You use me down.
You use me like a clown.
You'll never stop using me.
As long as I'm around.

Deep in the blues.
With nothing left.
For you to use.

With nothing left.
For you to use.
