It was only last June when her old man ran away



She couldn't stop cryin' 'cause she knew he was gone to stay.

It was 10.35 on a lonely Friday night



She was standin' by the bar

hmm

she was lookin' alright.



I asked her if she wanted to dance



And she said that all 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.

I may be qualified for 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





He was oll she ever had and now she wanted to 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 stay.



She asked me if we could be friends



And I said: Oh

honey

baby

that's a dead end



You 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.

It would be satisfied for a one night stand



But I could never take the place of your man.
