I remember way back

way back when

I said I'd never wanna

see your face again

'Cause you were loving

yes, you're 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 a friend's

But I think you know

oh yes, you know

what's going on

'cause the feelings in me

oh yes, in me

are burnin' strong

But I will never be

your steppin' stone

take it all

or leave me alone

I will never be

your steppin' 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 maestro

beats in your song

You got your kicks

you get your kicks

from playin' me

and the less you give

the more I want

so foolishly

But I could never be

your steppin' stone

take it all

or leave me alone

I will never be

your stepping stone

I'm standing

upright on my own.....

No, I will never be

your steppin' stone

take it all

or leave me alone

I will never be

your steppin' stone

I'm standing

upright on my own

Never be

your steppin' stone

take it all

or leave me alone

I will never be

your stepping stone

I'm standin'

upright on my own
