I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man (Fade - 2020 Remaster)

It was only last June
When her old man ran away
She couldn't stop crying
'Cause she knew he was gone to stay
It was 10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar, mhmm
She was lookin' alright, yeah

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, yeah

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 (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

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

And I said, baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
You wouldn't be satisfied (wouldn't be satisfied)
With a one night stand (uh, uh, uh)
And I could never take the place of your man, oh

Yeah, yeah, the place of your man
Uh, uh, uh, uh
