Cover art for Stepping Stone lyrics by Duffy

It's actually about duffy having feelings for a guy and not having the nerve to tell him ... guy kinda knows and kinda teases her she said so in an interview, this and mercy are sort of autobiographical, this being about love she didnt admit and mercy about a purely sexual relationship

Yeah, I can totally see that. Like, she likes him, maybe is even in love with him secretly, and once he catches on, he just kinda plays along, teasing her just enough to stick around - but he dosnt really want her, it just makes him feel good to feel wanted. Meanwhile, its torturing her. So she's basically saying she's onto him and she's not going to be his stepping stone anymore. I'm living that right now, its nice to hear a song that lets me know I'm not the only one in that situation.
