"I Useta Lover" is a 1990 song by Irish rock group The Saw Doctors. It is the second single off the If This Is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back album. It stayed at the #1 position in the Irish chart for a record nine weeks and became the best-selling single of all time in the country. A similar anti-clerical message is seen in other Saw Doctors songs, notably "Bless Me Father" and "Tommy K".

The chorus of the song was originally taken from a song of the same name which was performed by Davy Carton's first band, Blaze X. The original song had been written by Paul Cunniffe.
