Monkees - (i'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone lyrics

by Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart

I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone

I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone

You're trying to make your mark in society,

You're using all the tricks that you used on me,

You're reading all them high-fashion magazines,

The clothes you're wearing, girl, they're causing public scenes.

I said, I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone

I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone (No!)

Not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone

SOLO

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-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone (No, girl, not me!)

I-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone (No!)

Not your steppin' stone

I'm not your steppin' stone

SOLO

Not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone

No, girl, I'm not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone

Not your steppin' stone
