You're trying to make your mark in so - cie - ty,
You're using all the tricks that you used on me,
You're reading all them high fashion maga - zines,
The clothes you're wearing, girl, are causing public scenes!
Break
Not your stepping stone,
(Ah, ah, ah -ah!)
Not your stepping stone!
(Ah, ah, ah -ah! Ah, ah, ah -ah! Ah, ah, ah -ah!)
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 been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose,
But you won't find my name in your book of 'Who's Who'!
Chorus
Not your stepping stone,
(Ah, ah, ah -ah!)
Not your stepping stone!
(Ah, ah, ah -ah! Ah, ah, ah -ah! Ah, ah, ah -ah!)
Stepping stone! Not your stepping stone!
(Not your stepping stone!)
Not your stepping stone!
(Not your stepping stone!)
Not your stepping stone!
(Not your stepping stone!)
No, girl, I'm not your stepping stone!
(Not your stepping stone! Not your stepping stone!)
Not your stepping stone! Not your stepping stone!
(Not your stepping stone! Not your stepping stone!)
