I remember way back, way back when
I said I never want to see your face again
Cause you were loving,
yes you were loving somebody else
And I knew,
yes I knew I could control myself
Now they bring you back to my life again And
so I put on a face just like your friends
But I think you know,
yes you know what's 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 up right 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 our lips just like
a curse
And I knew,
yes I knew they'd only make it
worse
And now you have the nerve to play along
Just like the master beats in your thumb
You get your gigs,
you get your gigs from playing
me
And unless you give them more I won't 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 up right on my own
