Stepping Stone

I remember way back, way back when
I said I never wanna see your face again
'Cause you were loving somebody else
And I knew I couldn't control myself
Now they bring you back into my life again
So I put on a face just like your friends
But I think you know what's going on
'Cause the feelings in me are very strong

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 you could make it worse
And now you have the nerve to play along
Just like a maestro beats in his song
You get your kicks from playing me
The less you give the more I want you so foolishly

I'll 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
