It was only last June when her old man ran away
|
She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone 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 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
|
She couldn't stop cryin'
|
Cause she knew he was gone 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
|
|
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
|
