I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone

You're tryin' to make your mark in society
You're usin' all the tricks that you used on me
You're readin' all them high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin', girl, they're causin' public scenes

I said I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone
No!

Not your steppin' stone. (Ahhh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.)
Not your steppin' stone. (Ahhh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.)

I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone
I'm not your steppin' stone!

When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes
But now you're walkin' around like you're front page news
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of who's who

I said I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone
No, girl, not me!
I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone
No!
Not your steppin' stone. (Ahhh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.)
Not your steppin' stone. (Ahhh, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.)

Not your steppin' stone. (Step-step-steppin' stone.)
Not your steppin' stone. (Step-step-steppin' stone.)
Not your steppin' stone. (Step-step-steppin' stone.)
Not your steppin' stone. (Step-step-steppin' stone.)
No, girl, I'm not your steppin' stone
Not your steppin' stone. (Step-step-steppin' stone.)
Not your steppin' stone. (Step-step-steppin' stone.)
Not your steppin' stone. (Step-step-steppin' stone.)
