You’re a social Butterfly
You flutter to the limelight’s glow
Climbing up the greasy pole
Of the business that is show
Did my glamour start to fade
Once my usefulness was gone
Was your love for me charade
Your affections mine on loan
Just the base camp of ambition
On the foothills of your dreams
Now they’re coming to fruition
Are we running out of steam
Leave me hanging on your words
Leave me trembling in your wake
Leave me singing for my supper
While you eat and have your cake
I’ve become an albatross
And the omens aren’t good
I must exit on stage left
Lonely and misunderstood
But the poison of your chalice
Has an antidote for sure
I’m gonna find myself a woman
Who is perfectly obscure
Cut me down I’m not your Steppenstone
I’m not your Steppenstone
Cut me down I’m not your Steppenstone
I’m not your Steppenstone
