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
+
