Baby you've been up, broken down   Every man knows your name in this whole damn town   In every bar they know your drink, what should I think   I turned around to look and you gave some dude a wink   I thought I'd be happy with a woman like you,   But you walked on my pride and my manhood too   I don't know too much but one thing I know   A man stuck on you is like a stepping stone      Because you keep using me like a stepping stone   Because you keep using me like a stepping stone   Because you keep using me like a stepping stone   Because you keep using me like a stepping stone      What you forgot to mention, what was your real intention   Did you want a man to love, or someone to prop and carry you up   To a higher status, but the matter of fact is, your detachment   Will bring you further down and now you're all used up   Don't bother coming round      Because you keep using me like a stepping stone   Because you keep using me like a stepping stone   Because you keep using me like a stepping stone   Because you keep using me like a stepping stone      Well, I remember back to waht you put me thru   I keep thinking to myself   What's wrong with you   Ain't it enough to have a man for a lover and a friend   Tear him up and leave him when the money's spent   Well, you're just like delilah sittin' in her den   You take the strongest man and break 'em down again   But I have gained some knowledge   Go on pack your things and move back to college      Because you keep using me like a stepping stone   Because you keep using me like a stepping stone   Because you keep using me like a stepping stone   Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
