Lyrics:

“(I’m Not Your) Stepping Stone” is an original song by The Monkees.
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone

You tried to make your mark in society
You're using all the tricks that you used on me
I read about your payday in your magazines
The clothes you're wearin', yeah, worn at the seams

I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone

When I first met you, girl, you had no shoes
And now you're walking like you're front-page news
You've been unfaithful like the friends you choose
You won't find me in your book of who's

I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone

I'm not your steppingstone
I'm not stoned again
I'm not a crock

I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone

You're trying to make your mark in society
You're using all the tricks that you used on me
I read about your payday in those magazines
The shit you're wearin' is worn at the seams

I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone
I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppingstone
