Use your love★
★Katy Perry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you know my boyfriend is out of town
So have a drink, let's talk it over
So many things I shouldn't be sayin' now
You know I like my boys a little bit older
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight. tonight, tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
All my girls are nowhere to be found
They all split when I'm in trouble
But I'll tell you all my secrets if you stick around
The 'undercover-lovers' under the covers
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight. tonight, tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e
I just wanna use your l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e, l-o-v-e

try to keep my head from spinning
Too much to drink, not making sense
Been a while since I've been with someone new
But I can't stop the way I'm feeling

As you leave please would you just close the door
Now that our love affair is over
You're exactly what I was looking for
We'll go find a shoulder to cry upon

I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I just wanna use your love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
I don't wanna lose your love tonight

(You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all to me
You don't mean nothing at all

I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song




I think I'm done fuck'n singing this song
Singing this song, song, song song
