I'm telling you to stay away
I got no time for messin' around
I'm telling you, not today
I'll be alone, safe and sound
Now there was a time when I wished you were mine
But now those times are gone
And though you may hide from indistinguishing eyes
I see right through your disguise
And I'm telling you
Don't come steppin' 'round here no more
Don't, don't come steppin' 'round here
Don't come steppin' 'round here no more
Don't, don't come steppin' 'round here
I've done all that I can do
Now I'm not quite sure where I'm bound
But now, I leave it to you
Maybe this will turn you around
Oh, you go on your way, for you got your dues to pay
'Round here, you best not return
And while I convalesce, I simply must confess
For you, my heart once did burn!
Still I'm tellin' you
Don't come steppin' 'round here no more
Don't, don't come steppin' 'round here
Don't come steppin' 'round here no more
Don't, don't come steppin' 'round here
