Renée Fleming - Stepping Stone lyrics

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

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

You used 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

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
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
