I remember way back, way back when
I said I never wanna see your face again
'Cause you were loving, yes you're loving somebody else
And I knew, oh yes, I knew I couldn't control myselfAnd 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 strongBut 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 ownYou 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 worseAnd now you have the nerve to play along
Just like the maestro beats in your song
You got your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me
And the less you give the more I want so foolishlyBut 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 ownNo, 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 ownNever 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
