I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

It was only last June when her old man ran awayShe couldn't stop cryin' 'cause she knew he was gone to stay.It was 10.35 on a lonely Friday nightShe was standin' by the barhmmshe was lookin' alright.I asked her if she wanted to danceAnd she said that all she wanted was a good manAnd wanted to know if I thought I was qualified.And I said: Babydon't waste your timeI know what's on your mind.I may be qualified for a one night standBut I could never take the place of your man.It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyesHe was oll she ever had and now she wanted to die.He left her with a baby and another one on the wayShe couldn't stop cryin' 'cause she knewhe was gone to stay.She asked me if we could be friendsAnd I said: Ohhoneybabythat's a dead endYou know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied.And I said: Babydon't waste your timeI know what's on your mind.It would be satisfied for a one night standBut I could never take the place of your man.
