Stepping Stone
Untouchables Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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-I-I-I-I'm not your steppin' stone. (No!)
Not your steppin' stone,
Not your steppin' stone,
When I first met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes,
But, now you're walking around 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,
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,
The lyrics of "Stepping Stone" by the Untouchables is a message to someone who is trying to climb the social ladder by using and discarding others. The singer is not willing to be used as a stepping stone by this person. The person is trying to make their mark in society and is using all the tricks that they used on the singer to achieve it. They read high-fashion magazines and wear clothes that cause public scenes. The singer is not impressed by these superficial things and doesn't want to be part of this person's journey to success.
The singer met this person when they didn't have any shoes, but now they walk around like they are front page news. The person is very careful about the friends they choose, but the singer is not interested in being in their circle. They won't find the singer's name in their book of "Who's Who". The message of the song is clear - the singer is not interested in being used or walked over by someone who is only interested in climbing the social ladder.
