But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone

I will never be your stepping stone
I will never be your stepping stone
But I think you know, oh yes, you know what's going on
No, I will never be your stepping stone
I will never be your stepping stone
And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line
Take it all or leave me alone
I'm standing upright on my own

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

You got your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me
'Cause the feelings in me, oh yes, in me are burning strong

But I will never be your stepping stone

And the less you give the more I want so foolishly
Never be your stepping stone
And I knew, oh yes, I knew I couldn't control myself
Take it all or leave me alone
I'm standing upright on my own
And so I put on a face just like your friends
And now they bring you back into my life again
Take it all or leave me alone
You used to call me up from time to time
I'm standing upright on my own
I'm standing upright on my own
And now you have the nerve to play along
Just like the maestro beats in your song
I will never be your stepping stone
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
