A message to all OW

STEPPING STONE - BY DUFFY - from the Album "Rockferry"

I remember way back way back when
I said i never wanna see your face again
Cause you were loving yes you're loving somebody else
And I knew oh yes I knew I couldn't control myself
And now they bring you back into my life again
And so I put on a face just like your friend's
But I think you know oh yes you know whats going on
Cause the feelings in me oh yes in me are burning strong

Chorus

But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own


You used to call me up from time to time
And it would be so hard for me not to cross the line
The words of love layed on my lips just like a curse
And i knew oh yes i knew they'd only make it worse
And now you have the nerve to play along
Just like the maestro beats in a song
You got your kicks you get your kicks from playing me
And the less you give the more i want so foolishly

Chorus
But I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own...

No I will never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own

Never be your stepping stone
Take it all or leave me alone
I will never be your stepping stone
I'm standing upright on my own

Hmmm - do we take that personally, since it's headed "a message to ALL OW"...

Does it have a good beat? Dance-able tune, no?

Oh and how about this one..

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
I'm begging of you please don't take my man.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Please don't take him just because you can.

Your beauty is beyond compare,
With flaming locks of auburn hair,
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green.
Your smile is like a breath of spring;
Your voice is soft like summer rain,
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene.

He talks about you in his sleep,
An' there's nothing I can do to keep,
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene.
And I can easily understand,
How you could easily take my man,
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
I'm begging of you please don't take my man.
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Please don't take him just because you can.

You could have your choice of men,
But I could never love again.
He's the only one for me, Jolene.

I had to have this talk with you:
My happiness depends on you,
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
I'm begging of you please don't take my man.

Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene,
Please don't take him even though you can.

I think the point was to not allow yourselves to be used by a cake eater as so many obviously do. If this does not apply to your situation, then ignore it.

Well, then, you just jump right on that if it'll make you feel better.

I have a suspicion that the OP of this thread is NOT a BS but, rather, an OW who realized she'd been taken for a ride.

Yup. Just like I thought. She is a former OW.

Funny how so many try to bash BS when a thread like this is started.

Thanks Lizzie for dragging me kicking and screaming back into the 70s

I'm gonna have nightmares tonight - I'd managed to forget that Dolly Parton existed.

Oh please do! I think some songs to the BS about taking control of their lives and not being stepped on would be a great help. If you can please post your songs with that message to the betrayed, that would be very kind of you. Thanks for your offer.

She could actually just cut and paste this song. I mean, it applies to any woman being used by a man.

But she said she had a couple of songs she wanted to post on the infidelity forum for the BS. I think that's so cool that LF would take the time to help the BS. I look forward to seeing the songs.

Not OWoman, LF. She apparently took exception to a former OW trying to give other OW a perspective of strength and an unwillingness to compromise their own self worth.
