Stepping Stone Lyrics by Duffy

Rockferry (Deluxe Edition)

2008

[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

[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

[Verse 2]
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

[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, 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro]
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
