STEPPING STONES

Baby you're beat 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 you keep using me like a stepping stone you keep using me like a stepping stone 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 you keep using me like a stepping stone you keep using me like a stepping stone you keep using me like a stepping stone Well, I remember back to what 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 you keep using me like a stepping stone you keep using me like a stepping stone you keep using me like a stepping stone
