I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man [7'' Ver]

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 10:35 on a lonely Friday night

She was standin' by the bar

Hmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah



I asked her if she wanted to dance

And she said 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 (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 cryin'

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 (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
