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'
'Cause she knew he was gone to stay
10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standing by the bar
Hmm, she was looking alright, yea

I asked her if she
Wanted to dance?
An' she said that
All she wanted
Was a good man
An' wanted to know
If I thought I was qualified, yea

I said, "Baby, don't waste your time
I know, what's on your mind
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
An' now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby
An' another one on the way, yea

She couldn't stop cryin'
'Cause she knew he was gone to stay, yea
She asked me, if we could be friends
An' I said, "Oh, honey, baby
That's a dead end
You know 'n' I know
That we wouldn't be satisfied"
No, no

An' I said, "Baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
Wouldn't be satisfied
(Wouldn't be satisfied)
With a one night stand
(Oh, oh, oh)
An' I could never take the place
Of your man"
Yea, yea, the place of your man
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)

One, two, one, two
