I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man
It was only last June when her old man ran awayShe couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone 2 stayIt was 10:35 on a lonely friday nightShe was standin' by the barHmm, she was lookin' alright, yeahI asked her if she wanted 2 danceAnd she said all she wanted was a good manAnd wanted 2 know if I thought I was qualified, yeah
And I said, baby don't waste your timeI know what's on your mindI may be qualified 4 a one night standBut I could never take the place of your man
It hurt me so bad when she told mewith tears in her eyes (tears in her eyes)He was all she ever had and now she wanted 2 dieHe left her with a baby and another one on the wayShe couldn't stop cryin'Cause she knew he was gone 2 stayShe asked me if we could be friendsAnd I said, oh, honey baby that's a dead endU know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied
And I said, baby don't waste your timeI know what's on your mindU wouldn't be satisfied with a one night standAnd I could never take the place of your manYeah, yeah, the place of your man
