"(I’m Not Your) Stepping Stone"
1966 The Monkees by Tommy Boyce/Bobby Hart
(*bg version)

(intro)
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone
You try to make your mark in society
You’re usin’ all them tricks that you used on me
You’re readin’ all your high-fashion magazines
The clothes you’re wearin’ girl are causin’ public scenes

(I said ah)
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone
When I first met ya girl ya didn’t have no shoes
And now you’re walkin’ around like you’s front page news
(hey) You been awful careful ‘bout the friends you choose
But you won’t find my name in your book of whos-whos

(I said ah)
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone

(bridge double time)
I'm not your stepping stone (ah ah ah ah )
I'm not your stepping stone (ah ah ah ah )

(intro)
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone

[guitar solo over verse]

(intro)
(bridge double time)
I'm not your stepping stone (ah ah ah ah )
I'm not your stepping stone (ah ah ah ah )
(intro)
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone
I.. I.. I.. I.. I’m not your stepping stone
