Don't Abuse Me

Before i was in
 A rock n' roll band
 I couldn't get the time of day
 Now i'm doin' everything i can
 I thought i had it made
 Strangers drop in
 And pretend they're friends
 People i don't even know
 I want you, i need you
 It's so hard to tell
 And what you're really feelin'
 Won't show
 Don't abuse me
 Now you listen to what i say
 If you're tryin' to use me
 Why don't you just go away
 You took me around
 An' you showed me the town
 I thought you were kind of nice
 But if someone stepped in
 With more to show
 You'd drop me without thinkin' twice
 You tie yourself to my apron strings
 Thinkin' your friends will be impressed
 You get your way by bribin' me
 Tellin' me i'm the best
 Don't abuse me
 Now you listen to what i say
 If you're tryin' to use me
 Why don't you just go away
 Who can i trust an' where can i go
 To find someone who truly wants me
 Take me for what i am
 That's the way it's gotta be
 Rock n' roll love you want so bad
 Tellin' everybody you're mine
 But we both know deep down inside
 You're just diggin' for every dime
 Don't abuse me
 Now you listen to what i say
 If you're tryin' to use me
 Why don't you just go away
 Don't abuse me
 Now you listen to what i say
 If you're tryin' to use me
 Why don't you just go away
