I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man (1979 Version) - 2020 Remaster

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 10:35 on a lonely Friday night
 That's when I first saw her
 She was lookin' alright, yeah
 I asked if she wanted to dance
 And she said that all she wanted was a good man
 And she 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, yeah
 I may be qualified for a one night stand
 But I could never take the place of your man
 Oh yeah
 ♪
 It hurt me so bad when she told me
 With 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
 And 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, yeah
 And I said, baby stop wasting your time
 I know what's on your mind, yeah
 I won't be satisfied
 With a one night stand
 I can never take the place of your man
 But I'll try yeah
 Oh love I'll sure as hell try
 Honey I'll try, yeah
 I'll try baby
 Take the place of your man, yeah
 Place of your man, yeah
 Sure as hell try, yeah
 Place of your, place of your place of your place of your
 Place of your man, yeah
