The song "Use Me" by Isaac Hayes is about a person who realizes that their friends and loved ones are taking advantage of them. Despite being aware of this, the person continues to allow themselves to be used because it feels good. The lyrics suggest that the person is willing to be used until they are completely used up. In the song, the narrator mentions their friends who try to warn them about being used by others. However, the narrator's response is that they want to spread the news that being used feels good and they want to continue being used. The narrator also refers to a conversation with their brother, who advises them not to let others walk all over them. However, the narrator dismisses this advice, indicating that their brother would wish to be in their position if he understood the pleasure they derive from being used. The lyrics reveal that sometimes the person being used is mistreated by the user in certain social situations. Despite this mistreatment, the person still craves the love and attention they receive from their user. The song implies a complex relationship dynamic where both parties are using each other in some way. The narrator suggests that being used is not necessarily a bad thing as long as it brings pleasure and fulfillment. The lyrics ultimately express the narrator's willingness to continue being used, despite the potential harm it may cause, because the benefits outweigh the negatives.
