I I I I, I'm not your steppin' stone   I I I I, I'm not your steppin' stone      You're trying to make your mark in society   You're using all the tricks that you used on me   You're reading all those high fashion magazines   The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes      I said, I I I I, I'm not your stepping stone   I I I I, I'm not your stepping stone      Not your steppin' stone   Not your steppin' stone      I I I I, I'm not your steppin' stone      When I first met you girl, you didn't have no shoes   But now you're walking 'round 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   I I I I, I'm not your steppin' stone      Not your steppin' stone   I'm not your steppin' stone      Not your steppin' stone   Not your steppin' stone   Not your steppin' stone   ...
