A sort of extention of 'Use me Babe'. Not sure 'bout it yet. let me know.


I thought you were using me, babe
Wasn’t that all I was supposed to be?
I was using you baby
I thought I wouldn’t feel a thing,
Wasn’t it all you should have been?
Yet then why long for that embrace when it’s gone
Why does a touch linger on?

Once his face clear as day,
Once his name screamed in my wanton mind.
All that now gone
And YOUR touch lingers on.

You’re using me babe.
I fear its all I’ll I can be.
I was using you too babe.
I thought we’d kill our pain.

She’s left you now,
No fault of your own,
She never found your lie.
She was only using you babe,
It was all there in her eyes.

I thought you were using me baby?
It’s all I was there for.
I was using you too babe,
Thought I’d never feel a thing

Baby she’s gone now.
No secrets left to hide.
You were using me babe
To revenge her lies.

Babe, I ain’t nothing much,
Scared of feeling
Content with using and being used
Weren’t you using me babe?
Why respect me now?

I’m using you babe
Isn’t that all you were to be…

Dear April, sometimes the impression of using another and of being used by another can transform into something totally different and unexpected ...

You express this possibility/doubt very well.

Love,
Margherita
