Don't Abuse Me

(앨범: Flaming Schoolgirls - 1980)

Before I was in
A rock n' roll band
I couldn't get the time of day
Now I'm doing 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 feeling
Won't show

Don't abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you're trying 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 thinking twice
You tie yourself to my apron strings
Thinking your friends will be impressed
You get your way by bribing me
Telling me I'm the best

Don't abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you're trying 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
Telling everybody you're mine
But we both know deep down inside
You're just digging for every dime
