It was only last June when her old man ran away

She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay

10:35 on a lonely Friday night

She was standin' by the bar ... mmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah



I asked her if she wanted 2 dance

And she said that all she wanted was a good man

And wanted 2 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 4 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 2 die

He left her with a baby and another one on the way, yeah

She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay, yeah



She asked me if we could be friends

And I said - ""Oh honey, baby, that's a dead end

U 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

We 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
