Monkees, The - (I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone Lyrics






I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone

You're trying to make your mark in society
Using all the tricks that you used on me.
You're reading all those high fashion magazines
The clothes you're wearin' girl are causing public scenes.

I said
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.

When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
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 stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone,
Not your stepping stone.

    I've learned most of the words to this song, a great song I really love it. Thanks to my lower female voice I can sing it nicely, sung it for my mutter once and I think i scared her cause of the rough tone I used (I talk very quietly usually) my mutter doesn't listen to a lot of rock so I think it twas her first time hearing this song.

  55. g.... 3....

    This was my first album. Listening to this takes me back. Waaay back.

  56. s.... u....

    God damn in this year too.. Dang... Rest in peace. Seriously..

    C.... ....

    @SylentEcho whether or not you like the Monkees as a "real" band, the song is still pretty great. Now who wrote the majority of Monkee songs, including this one? The studio? or the band?

    C.... ....

    @SylentEcho the only monkee on this track is mickey singing lead

    C.... ....

    CGH MAN, THIS WAS MY LAST YEAR IN PINE BLUFF ARKANSAS. I WAS 12 GOING ON 13 YEARS OLD. GETTING INITIATED INTO ADOLESCENCE. WE MOVED FROM PINE BLUFF ARKANSAS TO COMMERCE TEXAS😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

  71. j.... g....

    This was always my favorite song by the Monkees. Because this was the song that Rocks. It's sad that today we lost Peter Tork in death. In 2012 Davy Jones but they recorded many wonderful tunes. In one concert they asked Jimi Hendrix to be the opening act. The Monkees appreciated Hendrix's music. Today is a sad day that Peter Tork is gone. But there music will always live on. This is a great song the one that Rocks & that was different from the rest.

  72. J.... c....

    One of my favorite song

  73. G.... B....

    RIP Peter Tork :(

  74. Z.... D....

    I missed my calling.when i was young and putting model cars n trucks were fun. You could build them paint them anyway you wanted to.I'd run home to watch the monkeys.i loved there monkey mobile.so instead of buying one i had some models laying around so i thought how i was going to build one.i had a G.T.O for the body cut the top off and with all the other parts laying around i put it all together.i did a pretty good job is i say so myself. It look just like the real one.i went and looked around at a store for models 55yrs later. Nope they were the same price i paid back then.they were around $25.00 I'm like wow wishing i had those that i had yesteryear.😞😞.but i can still enjoy there music free.☺😉.

    My babysitter, a teenaged girl (Patty) had every pop rock 45 in the world during 1965-1969 and this was one of the best tunes she had to offer us during the five nights a week she watched over us.Our huge 1963 Magnavox TV / stereo console got a workout - nearly blasted out the speakers! Much to the delight of I and my two younger brothers - and Patty too. God bless that girl! Any kid alive in 1966/1967 knows just how big the Monkees were - right up there with the Beatles, at least for a couple of years. What a time to be young!
