Stepping Stone - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I remember way back way back when

I said I never wanna see your face again

'Cause you were loving, yes, you were 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 what's going on

'Cause the feelings in me, oh yes, in me are burning strong

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 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 get your kicks, you get your kicks from playing me

And the less you give, the more I want, so foolishly

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, own

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, own

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

Own, own, own
