Baby you're beat up, broken down
B7 E
Every man knows your name is this whole damn town
In every bar they know your drink, what should I think
I turn around to look and you gave some dude a wink
I thought you I'd be happy with a women 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
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Don’t get caught using me like a stepping stone
What you forgot to mention, what was the real intention
Did you want a man to love, or someone to prop and carry you up
To a higher status, but as a matter of fact, that’s only your detachment
That 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
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Don’t get caught using me for your stepping stone
Well, I remember back to what you put me thru
I kept 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 pack your things and move back to college
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Because you keep using me like a stepping stone
Don’t get caught using me for your stepping stone
