Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm not your stepping stone
(No, not me, girl)
I'm not your stepping stone
[Verse 2]
You try to make your mark in society
Usin' all the tricks that you use on me
You're readin' all them high fashion magazines
Clothes you're wearin', girl, are causin' public scenes
[Verse 3]
You say, "I, I'm not your stepping stone"
(No, not me, girl)
I'm not your stepping stone
(No)
[Verse 4]
Not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
Not really
[Verse 5]
I'm not your stepping stone
[Verse 6]
When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walkin' round like you're front page news
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
You won't find my name in your book of who's who, no
[Verse 7]
I'm not your stepping stone
(No, not me, girl)
I'm not your stepping stone
(No)
[Verse 8]
Not your stepping stone
I'm not your stepping stone
[Verse 9]
Not your stepping stone
(Step-step-stepping stone)
Not your stepping stone
(Step-step-stepping stone)
Not your stepping stone
(Step-step-stepping stone)
Not your stepping stone
(Step-step-stepping stone)
I'm not your stepping, stepping stone
(Step-step-stepping stone)
Step-step-stepping stone
Not your stepping, stepping stone
(Step-step-stepping stone)
Step-step-stepping stone
[Verse 10]
Oh, no, oh, no
I'm not your, not your, not your, not your
[Verse 11]
Not your stepping stone
(Step-step-stepping stone)
Step-step-stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
(Step-step-stepping stone)
Step-step-stepping stone
[Verse 12]
Oh, no, oh, no
I'm not your stepping stone
No
