美國鄉村樂壇紅星［瑪麗奧斯蒙］──鄉村流行曲──［Steppin Stone／墊腳石］

Baby, youve been treading on dangerous ground
Better back up, better slow it down
I aint gonna be satisfied
Until were walking side by side

The road to love gets rough at times
And some poor souls get left behind
I dont wanna wake up and find you gone
I wanna be more than your stepping stone

Ive been let down, put off and cast aside
Oh baby, dont walk all over my pride
You can chase your dreams, just take me along
I wanna be more than your stepping stone

The road to love gets rough at times
And some poor souls get left behind
I dont wanna wake up and find you gone
I wanna be more than your stepping stone

Those girls downtown wont leave you alone
Fast talk, slow walk, coming on strong
Keep in mind that my love is true
Let me be the rock that you hold on to

The road to love gets rough at times
And some poor souls get left behind
I dont wanna wake up and find you gone
I wanna be more than your stepping stone

Gotta be more than your stepping stone
