Stepping Stone

I rememeber way back way back when

I said I never wanna see your face again

'Cause you were loving, yes, you were loving somebody else

And I knew, oh yes, I knew I couldn't control myself

And now they bring you back into my life again

And so I put on a face just like your friends

But I think you know, oh yes, you know what's going on

'Cause the feelings in me, oh yes, in me are burning strong



But I will never be your stepping stone

Take it all or leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone

I'm standing upright on my own



You used to call me up from time to time

And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line

The words of love lay on my lips just like a curse

And I knew, oh yes, I knew they'd only make it worse

And now you have the nerve to play along

Just like the maestro beats in your song

You get your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me

And the less you give the more I want so foolishly



But I will never be your stepping stone

Take it all or leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone

I'm standing upright on my own



No, I will never be your stepping stone

Take it all or leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone

I'm standing upright on my own



Never be your stepping stone

Take it all or leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone

I'm standing upright on my own
