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 10:35 on a lonely Friday night

She was standing by the bar

She was lookin' alright, yeah

I asked her if she wanted to dance

And she said that all she wanted was a good man

And wanted to know if I thought I was qualified, yeah

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 crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay, yeah

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 with a one night stand

And I could never take the place of your man

Yeah, yeah, the place of your man
