You Used Me Babe (My lyrics #1)

I happen to catch an episode of Fresh Air (on NPR) with Terry Gross re-airing one of her interviews of Loretta Lynn in her memory after her death.  I do not listen to country music very often.  However, I was impressed with the lyrics and the vocals, both courtesy of Loretta Lynn.  This prompted me to write this song. This is my first song.

You used me babe
You took me for granted
Didn’t care what I wanted
You used me babe.

You played with me
like a ragdoll
wanted me to be ready
anytime you call
You used me babe.

You had only one thing
on your mind
Feelings for me
You couldn’t find
You used me babe.

You played me
like a fiddle
You tried to solve me
as if I am a riddle
You used me babe.

You kept me waiting
Longing for your kiss
Your warm hugs
I surely miss
You used me babe.

Yes, you did!
