She Only Meant To Use Him
She was young and she was pretty
And she met him in the city
And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she hit it lucky
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
He was a sixty year old man.
She let him think he'd caught her
She led him to the alter
Totin' seven carats on her hand
All dressed up in satin
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
But she knew she'd be the winner in the end.
'Cause she only meant to use him
She only meant to use him
And she didn't care if what she did was wrong
She only meant to use him
And she knew what she was doing
In a few years she'd be rich and he'd be gone.

In their million dollar palace
The man grew old and jealous
And he never let her leave the house alone
She was in her prime and holding
But she knew that he was old
And chances were he wouldn't be around that long.
As the days and nights grew longer
The greed in her grewstronger
And it even crossed her mind to take his life
But he found out he'd been taken
And his pride was badly shakened
And he knew she never meant to be a wife.
She only meant to use him
She only meant to use him
But she knew what she wanted in the end
She only meant to use him.
But he knew what she was doing
And he swore she'd never have a dime to spend.
Tormented by frustration
She watched her beauty wasting
As the lines upon her face began to show
She turned to heavy drinkin'
'Cause her ship was slowly sinking
And the bottle was the only place to go.
Now 20 odd years later
The headlines in the paper
Said they laid her soul to rest at 53
And when they wheeled him to her coffin
He took her diamond off
And he just smiled and finally died at 93.
She only meant to use him
Lord knows she meant to use him
But she died with seven carats on her hand
All dressed in satin
Aw' the good Lord wasted that one
But her husband died a satisfied old man.
She was young and she was pretty
And she met him in the city
And somehow he fit right into her plan
She knew she hit it lucky
He owned half of Kentucky and best of all,
He was a sixty year old man...
Ela Só Queria Usá-lo
Ela era jovem e bonita
E o conheceu na cidade
E de alguma forma ele se encaixou no seu plano
Ela sabia que teve sorte
Ele possuía metade de Kentucky e o melhor de tudo,
Ele era um homem de sessenta anos.
Ela deixou ele pensar que a pegou
Ela o levou até o altar
Com sete quilates na mão
Toda vestida de cetim
Ah, o bom Senhor desperdiçou essa
Mas ela sabia que seria a vencedora no final.
Porque ela só queria usá-lo
Ela só queria usá-lo
E não se importava se o que fazia era errado
Ela só queria usá-lo
E sabia o que estava fazendo
Em alguns anos ela seria rica e ele estaria fora.

No palácio de um milhão de dólares
O homem envelheceu e ficou ciumento
E nunca a deixou sair de casa sozinha
Ela estava no auge e segurando
Mas sabia que ele era velho
E as chances eram de que ele não ficaria por muito tempo.
À medida que os dias e noites se alongavam
A ganância dentro dela crescia
E até passou pela cabeça dela tirar a vida dele
Mas ele descobriu que tinha sido enganado
E seu orgulho foi muito abalado
E ele sabia que ela nunca quis ser uma esposa.
Ela só queria usá-lo
Ela só queria usá-lo
Mas sabia o que queria no final
Ela só queria usá-lo.
Mas ele sabia o que ela estava fazendo
E jurou que ela nunca teria um centavo para gastar.
Torturada pela frustração
Ela viu sua beleza se esvaindo
Enquanto as linhas em seu rosto começavam a aparecer
Ela se entregou à bebida pesada
Porque seu barco estava afundando lentamente
E a garrafa era o único lugar para ir.
Agora, 20 anos depois
As manchetes no jornal
Diziam que ela descansou sua alma aos 53
E quando o levaram até seu caixão
Ele tirou o diamante dela
E apenas sorriu e finalmente morreu aos 93.
Ela só queria usá-lo
Deus sabe que ela queria usá-lo
Mas ela morreu com sete quilates na mão
Toda vestida de cetim
Ah, o bom Senhor desperdiçou essa
Mas seu marido morreu um velho satisfeito.
Ela era jovem e bonita
E o conheceu na cidade
E de alguma forma ele se encaixou no seu plano
Ela sabia que teve sorte
Ele possuía metade de Kentucky e o melhor de tudo,
Ele era um homem de sessenta anos...
