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 myself

And now they bring you back into my life again

And so

I put on a face just like a friend

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

Oh, oh, oh

Oh

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

Oh, oh, oh

Ohhhh

Oh, oh, oh

Ohhh
