"Reusable"

You get what you want
and you want what you get
but you don't care a lot,
you just say "what's next?"

You don't sort it out
you just kick to the curb
for someone to pick up
with an unkind word

You're happy enough
you suppose, but you're wrong
'cause you don't know what
you just missed out on

You think you can use me up
and throw me away
Well that's a big mistake, 'cause

I'm reusable
You don't have to throw me out, oh no
I'm reusable
You've got me to kick around

There must be a landfill
filled to the rim
with the guys that you dumped
on a moment's whim

They loved you enough
so you don't give a thought
You assume they're alright
but it's not your fault

Well I'm telling you
of the stuff I am made
my love won't wither up
or biodegrade

So don't let it all
go to waste after just one try
I'm guaranteed for life, and

I'm reusable
You don't have to throw me out, oh no
I'm reusable
You've got me to kick around

I'm reusable
Don't let there be no doubt, at all
I'm reusable
It's environmentally sound

You say you're just using me,
that's just fine
You can use my physique, you can
use my mind

Use me all up, you can use me
all down
I'm at your disposal
just don't stop now

You can take me for granted
I grant you that
Crumple me up, and I'll bounce
right back

Still got my respect and my pride
when you put my in my place
my favorite place, 'cause

I'm reusable
You don't have to throw me out, oh no
I'm reusable
You've got me to kick around

I'm reusable
Don't let there be no doubt, at all
I'm reusable
It's environmentally sound
