Use Me
Pepper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ohhh, cause I know all of your schemes lately,
Like the way you move your hip,
Seductive licks for the money clip.
Do you own this? And I know this, that's when I noticed.
She looked me over and moved so easily,
But, in fact, fuck all that, I like the way you use me!
Turn it on until dawn, I like the way you use me!
Welcome back to the counterfeit stacks,
Now baby slow down; you'll grab a heart attack,
Cause I like what I see, ohh,
My approach into the night,
I'll be wrecking shit till the sky is bright,
With the latest technology, like you showed me.
She looked me over and moved so easily,
But in fact, fuck all that, I like the way you use me!
The evidence is missing with my â??Steiny,â??
Turn it on until dawn, I like the way you use me!
Soon you'll realize I'm too broke for the â??supersizeâ??,
I got no money, and the drinks are free,
And now I got the room spinning up around me.
Jump ship before sunrise,
You're a thirsty bitch that I'd exercise,
Do you know this? Cause I know this,
That's when I noticed.
She looked me over and moved so easily,
But, in fact, fuck all that, I like the way you use me!
The evidence is missing with my â??Steiny,â??
Turn it on until dawn, I like the way you use me!
Don't hold me closer; there's no need to comfort me,
Problem solve, get your girl involved
And show me your agility, ohh, ohh,
Don't want no loving, you just need your currency,
But, nothing's wrong, just keep it going on
And baby use me!
She looked me over and moved so easily,
But in fact, fuck all that, I like the way you use me!
I love the way you use me!
The song "Use Me" by Pepper is about being caught up in a toxic relationship where one person is fully aware that they are being used for someone else's gain. The song begins with some skepticism from the singer, who acknowledges that they are aware of the other person's schemes and manipulations, but still finds themselves drawn to that person's seduction and charm. They express that they do not care about being used, and in fact, enjoy it because of the pleasure and excitement that comes with the experience.
As the song progresses, the singer begins to question their choices and the nature of the relationship. They emphasize that they do not want any emotional attachment, only the physical pleasure that comes from being used. The lyrics portray this relationship as being one-sided, with the other person getting what they want while the singer is left with nothing but a hangover and emptiness. However, despite their reservations, the singer still finds themselves wanting to be used by this person and can't seem to break free from the cycle.
Overall, "Use Me" is a commentary on the complexities of relationships and the human desire for pleasure and excitement, regardless of the consequences.
