Mr. Bill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They keep tryna tell me
All you want to do is use me
But my answer, yeah
Yeah, to all that use me stuff
I-i-i, and I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
My brother
Sit me right down and he talked to me
Oh-oh, he told me, yeah
That I ought not to let you just walk on me
And I'm sure he meant well
Yeah, but when our talk was through
I-i-i said, brother
If you only knew you'd wish that you were in my shoes
You just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Oh-oh, sometimes
It's true, you really do abuse me
Oh, you get me in a crowd of high-class people
And then you act real rude to me
Aah-ha, but, oh baby, baby, baby, baby
When you love me, I can't get enough
I, I, I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good getting used
Girl, you just keep on using me
Until you use me up
Until you use me up
Talkin' 'bout you usin' people
It all depends on what you do
It ain't too bad the way you're usin' me
'Cause I sure am usin' you
To do the things you do
Ah, how to do the things you do
In Mr. Bill's song "Use Me," the singer is aware that his friends see him as an opportunity for their use. Despite their warnings, the singer does not mind being used up by his partner, and he wants to spread the news that being used feels great. In the second verse, the singer's brother confronts him, telling him that he should not let his partner walk all over him. The singer responds saying that his brother would want to be in his place if he knew the pleasure of being used. The singer describes how his partner sometimes mistreats him in public, but when they are together and in love, he cannot get enough of being used. The song closes with the singer acknowledging that the relationship is mutual; he is using his partner just as much as she is using him.

I’ve always loved this song since the day it came out, but it still amazes me how perfectly, scarily beautiful the ending starting at 3:12 is. Pure Magic.

Nothing like this is made nowadays everything is just so compressed. Everyone just uses raw power and effects to make something exciting, like this stuff is just too unique the mix isnt even close to being perfect but its still better than 99 percent of stuff made now.
