I remember way back
Way back when
I said i never wanna see
Your face again
Cause you were loving yes
Your 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

Chorus:
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 mistro beats
In your song
You got your kicks you
Get your kicks
From playing me
And the less you give
The more
I want so foolishly

(Chorus)

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
