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 cryin` cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay
10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin` by the bar ... mmm, she was lookin` alright, yeah

I asked her if she wanted 2 dance
And she said that all she wanted was a good man
And wanted 2 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 4 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 2 die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way, yeah
She couldn`t stop cryin` cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay, yeah

She asked me if we could be friends
And I said - ``Oh honey, baby, that`s a dead end
U 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
We wouldn`t be satisfied (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
