you looked like a star from the first time

you served me my drink you said you liked my face

so I asked you your name

you were just a girl when I found you

you'd been beat around and landed at my feet

I picked you off of your knees



but you stepped on my life

dug your teeth in

tore out my soul and threw me back again

darling you used me, you stepped on my life

you used me up

twisted the knife

into my back into my life

darling you used me, you stepped on my life



now it's so bittersweet when I see you now

on backs of cabs coming through TV screens

I hear you laughing at me



you stepped on my life

when I had one

you played your games, you had your fun

darling you used me, you stepped on my life

stepped on my dreams

for three whole years

I nursed your pain, I dried your tears

darling you used me

stepped on my life
