I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

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.
