I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man Lyrics

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
Mmh, she was looking alright
I asked her if she wanted to dance
And she said that all she wanted was a good man
And wanted to know
And if I thought I was qualified
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
She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay
She asked me if we could be friends
And I said o, honey, baby that's it
And you know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied
And I said baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
It would be satisfyin' for a one-night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
Oohh...
The place of your man
