I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

It was only last June
 When her old man ran away
 She couldn't stop crying
 'Cause she knew he was gone to stay
 It was ten thirty-five on a lonely Friday night
 She was standin' by the bar
 She was lookin' alright, yeah
 I asked if she wanted to dance
 And she said all she wanted was a good man
 And wanted to know
 If I thought I was qualified, yeah
 And I said, baby don't waste your time
 I know what's on your mind
 I may be qualified for a one night stand
 But I could never take the place of your man
 It hurt me so bad when she told me
 With tears in her eyes (tears in her eyes)
 He was all she ever had
 And now she wanted to die
 He left her with a baby
 And another one on the way, yeah
 She couldn't stop cryin'
 'Cause she knew he was gone to stay
 She asked me if we could be friends
 And I said, oh, honey baby that's a dead end
 You know and I know
 That we wouldn't be satisfied
 No
 And I said, baby don't waste your time
 I know what's on your mind
 You wouldn't be satisfied (wouldn't be satisfied)
 With a one night stand (uh, uh, uh)
 And I could never take the place of your man, oh
 Yeah, yeah, the place of your man (uh, uh, uh)
 One, two
