I remember way back way back when

I said I never wanna see your face again

Cause you were loving

Yes you loving somebody else

And I knew

Oh yes I knew I could 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 of me

Oh yes of 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 it

Would only make it worse

And now you have the nerve to play along

Just like the maestro beats in his 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

Leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone
