Stepping Stone

I'm standing upright on my own
Just like the maestro beats in your song

Take it all or leave me alone

I'm standing upright on my own
I will never be your stepping stone
And so I put on a face just like your friends

Take it all or leave me alone
'Cause you were loving, yes you're loving somebody else
And now you have the nerve to play along
I will never be your stepping stone
And the less you give the more I want so foolishly
But I think you know, oh yes, you know what's going on
But I will never be your stepping stone
And I knew, oh yes, I knew I couldn't control myself
And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line

'Cause the feelings in me, oh yes, in me are burning strong
I will never be your stepping stone
I will never be your stepping stone

You used to call me up from time to time
And now they bring you back into my life again
You got your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me
Take it all or leave me alone
And I knew, oh yes, I knew they'd only make it worse

The words of love lay on my lips just like a curse
But I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own
Never be your stepping stone
No, I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
