I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
  I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
    You're trying to make your mark in society
  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.
    [Chorus]
  I said
  I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
  I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
  Not your stepping stone,
  Not your stepping stone.
    When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
  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.
    [Chorus]
