I remember way back way back when I said I never wanna see your face again Cause you were loving yes you were 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 your friends But I think you know oh yes you know whats 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 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 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 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
