歌词
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
