Lyrics

[Verse 1] It was only last June when her old man ran away She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay 10:35 on a lonely Friday night She was standin' by the bar, hmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah [Pre-Chorus] I asked 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, yeah [Chorus] 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" [Verse 2] 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 to die He left her with a baby and another one on the way, yeah She couldn't stop cryin' 'cause she knew he was gone to stay, yeah [Pre-Chorus] 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, no" [Chorus] And I said, "Baby, don't waste your time I know what's on your mind Wouldn't be satisfied with a one-night stand And I could never take the place of your man" [Outro] Yeah, yeah, the place of your man Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh One, two, one, two, woo Ahh
