Before we slip and fall in love, I'd better caution you
I'm the kind they've warned you of, I've slipped a time or two
The stories you just can't believe though I'm guilty as accused
I've still got my pride, slightly used

It's been slightly used, but it still hurts to love and lose
It's been slightly used, but it still hurts to cry the blues
If you still want this heart of mine, than it belongs to you
With all my love, slightly used

Our destiny's are not the same, I'm bad and you're so good
One of us would have to change, I don't know if I could
And if I fail I'd drag you down, until your pride refused
Then you'd be like me, slightly used

Oh I've been slightly used but it still hurts to love and lose
I've been slightly used, but it still hurts to cry the blues
If you still want this heart of mine, than it belongs to you
With all my love, slightly used
