[Verse 1]
You're burning my heart
You're burning my mind
You're spoiling my art
You're wasting my time
No taste in your actions
No taste in your line
No truth or direction
No true love of mine
You say you wanna be a superstar
Don't give a damn how to get that far
You say you wanna ride a diamond car
But I don't like your fat cigar
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, don't you wanna see?
I'm not your stepping stone
Hey, hey, hey, I've gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
[Verse 2]
You're in love with success
You're spilling my wine
Don't follow my tracks, babe
Your ways are not mine
Your main god is money
You're wasting my life
I'm not your Bugs Bunny
And you're not my wife
You say you only do it for our best
But you don't wanna see what I detest
You think me crack-brained, that I'm gonna leave your show
But you can't see what I see so let me go
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, don't you wanna see?
I'm not your stepping stone
Hey, hey, hey, I've gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, hey, don't you wanna see?
I'm not your stepping stone
Hey, hey, hey, I've gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
Hey, hey, hey, don't you wanna see?
I'm not your stepping stone
Hey, hey, hey, I've gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
