It was only last june

When her old man ran way

She couldn't stop crying

'cause she knew he was gone to 2 stay



It was 10:35 on a lonely friday night

She was standin' by the bar

Hmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah



I asked if she wanted 2 dance

And she said 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 you man



It hurt my so bad when she told me

With 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

She couldn't stop cryin'

Cause she knew he was gone to 2 stay



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

U 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.
