I'm not your stepping stone I'm not your stepping stone You're trying to make your mark in society You're using all the tricks that you used on me You're reading all them high fashion magazines The clothes you're wearing, girl, are causing public scenes I said I'm not your stepping stone I'm not your stepping stone No! I'm not your stepping stone I'm not your stepping stone I'm not your stepping stone When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes But now you're walking around like you're front page news You've been awful careful about the friends you choose But you won't find my name in your book of who's, who's I said I'm not your stepping stone I'm not your stepping stone No! I'm not your stepping stone I'm not your stepping stone No! I'm not your stepping stone I'm not your stepping stone I'm not your stepping stone
