I-I-I-I-I′m not your steppin' stone

I-I-I-I-I′m not your steppin' stoneYou'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, are 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

Not your steppin′ stone

When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes

But now you′re walkin' ′round like you're front page news

You 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

I′m not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone

No, girl, I′m not your steppin′ stone

Not your steppin' stone
