It was late last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop crying
Because she knew he was gonna stay
10: 45 on a lonely Friday night
She was standing by the bar, and ooo
She was looking alright
I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said
All that she wanted was a good man and wanted to know
If I thought I was qualified.
And I said: "Baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
You could never be satisfied with a one night stand
And 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 wanted and now she just wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn't stop crying because she knew he was gonna stay.
She asked me if we could be friends and I said
Honey, baby, that's a dead end
You know and I know, we'd never be satisfied.
And I said "Baby, don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
You could never be satisfied with a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man."
No. I could never, never, never, take the place of your man
