Stepping Stone - Rosa

I remember way back, way back when I said I never wanna see your face again 'Cause you were loving, yes you're 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 to 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 got 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

Ooh-WHEE! I sure got the blues this morning, baby Yeah! And I'm here to tell you about it So you might as well pick up on it! Yeah! I'm a man At least I'm tryin' to be I've lived before The other half of me I've lived before That you don't want me But in this search For nothing desperately Oh, I'm tryin' tryin' Not to be a fool I'm tryin' tryin' Lord to keep my cool, baby tryin' so hard to keep it together After I find, baby That true love of mine I'm just rollin' screamin' Cryin' flyin' Can't be trusted, but busted Rolling Stone You're a woman At least you say you are You're a woman At least you look like you are You're a woman At least you taste like you are But you can take it off In bed with my guitar And then you leave them Throw me outside To cry, cry To the moon and the nighttime Save my soul, You can't find All you want is a ticket to ride After you show me everything It did prove otherwise You just rollin', screamin', cryin' good love is sometime, but can't be trusted Steppin' Stone Steppin' Stone Steppin' Stone

Hey, hey, hey, tell me did you find your way? There's a lot of things you've done I'd damn you for From finger to finger, from head to toe I do hope you're alright And it's time to admit it's my fault That we don't talk anymore, no I'm winter cold in maiden fall A beaten road where no one goes And though I've left my post The ones who meant the most Wrote you a song, a stepping stone Wait and stay, without you I'll decay away And there won't be a whole lot that's left of me With muscle and marrow and strength in my bones I will tear out the bricks That are holding together the walls That divide our frail homes I'm winter cold in maiden fall A beaten road where no one goes And though I've left my post The ones who meant the most Wrote you a song I'm winter cold in maiden fall A beaten road where no one goes And though I've left my post The ones who meant the most Wrote you a song I'm winter cold in maiden fall A beaten road where no one goes And though I've left my post The ones who meant the most Wrote you a song, a stepping stone

I'm not your stepping stone, no I'm not your stepping stone Here you're trying to make your mark on society Using all the tricks that you used on me You're reading all those high fashion magazines The clothes you're wearin' lady causing public scenes I said, "I'm not your stepping stone, no" No, I'm not your stepping stone, no Not your stepping stone, not your stepping stone Not your stepping stone, not your stepping stone, no I'm not your stepping stone No, I'm not your stepping 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'm not your stepping stone", not me no I said, "I'm not your stepping stone", no Not your stepping stone, not stepping stone Your stepping stone, not your stepping stone, no Not your stepping stone, not stepping stone Your stepping stone, oh, I'm not your stepping stone Oh, baby I'm not your stepping stone Not your stepping stone, no no no no, your stepping stone No no, I'm not your stepping stone Not your stepping stone, your stepping stone Oh woah not your stepping stone Stepping, stepping, stepping, stepping, stepping, stepping stone Your stepping stone

I've been hoping for so long That you would send a sign and don't Tell me how to live without you It happened over night He lost a lonely fight I'll never let him go So many photographs Questions I wish I asked But I won't let it show I'll bring it back to life Darling Oh I'm bringing you back to life Darling Oh It's not quite happy It's not quite happy but it's close Yeah, I'm not quite happy I'm not quite happy but I'm close And maybe that's enough Well maybe that's enough I gotta leave this empty house Put my headphones on, head down Feel my lips start to tremble Oh no I see another girl We're from such different worlds But I think she knows what I'm feeling And things like this remind Me of the better times Together we'll keep going I'm bringing it back to life To love you Oh I'm bringing it back to life Darling Oh It's not quite happy It's not quite happy but it's close Yeah I'm not quite happy I'm not quite happy but I'm close And maybe that's enough Maybe that's enough Maybe that's enough Maybe that's enough
