I was your steppin' stone
I was your little dog's bone
But now you've made it without me
You know all about me
And that's all right

You cry
The whole night long
I try
Love's right and wrong
And now the sun's sleepin' through
And it's down on you, too
It's just not fair

Now what is right is right
And what's done's done
But before you come 'round my door, woman
Gonna see where you're comin' from
Better count up your change
And put a smile on your mind
Before you want away for any more of my time
I couldn't have loved you better
I could have loved you worse
I know what comes last baby
And you've known it from the first

I was your steppin' stone
I was your little dog's bone
But now you've made it without me
You know all about me
And that's all right
