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 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 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 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 One, two, one, two
