I'll be better way back 
Way back when
I said i never wanna see 
Your face again
Cause you were loving yes 
Your 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 your friends
But i think you know 
Oh, yes 
You know whats going on
Cause the feelings in me 
Oh, yes 
In me are 
Burning strong

Chorus:
But 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 still call me up 
From time to time
And it would be 
So hard for me 
Not to cross the line 
The words of love 
Lie 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 mistro beats 
In your song
You got your kicks you 
Get your kicks 
From playing me
And the less you give 
The more 
I want so foolishly

(Chorus)

No 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

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
