Before I was in
A rock n´ roll band
I couldn´t get the time of day
Now I´m doin´ 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 feelin´
Won´t show

Don´t abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you´re tryin´ 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 thinkin´ twice
You tie yourself to my apron strings
Thinkin´ your friends will be impressed
You get your way by bribin´ me
Tellin´ me I´m the best

Don´t abuse me
Now you listen to what I say
If you´re tryin´ 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
Tellin´ everybody you´re mine
But we both know deep down inside
You´re just diggin´ for every dime
