I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man (1979 Version - 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
That's when I first saw her
She was lookin' alright, yeah
I asked if she wanted to dance
And she said that all she wanted was a good man
And she 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, yeah
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
Oh yeah
It hurt me so bad when she told me
With 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
And 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, yeah
And I said, baby stop wasting your time
I know what's on your mind, yeah
I won't be satisfied
With a one night stand
I can never take the place of your man
But I'll try yeah
Oh love I'll sure as hell try
Honey I'll try, yeah
I'll try baby
Take the place of your man, yeah
Place of your man, yeah
Sure as hell try, yeah
Place of your, place of your place of your place of your
Place of your man, yeah
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
That's when I first saw her
She was lookin' alright, yeah
I asked if she wanted to dance
And she said that all she wanted was a good man
And she 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, yeah
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
Oh yeah
It hurt me so bad when she told me
With 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
And 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, yeah
And I said, baby stop wasting your time
I know what's on your mind, yeah
I won't be satisfied
With a one night stand
I can never take the place of your man
But I'll try yeah
Oh love I'll sure as hell try
Honey I'll try, yeah
I'll try baby
Take the place of your man, yeah
Place of your man, yeah
Sure as hell try, yeah
Place of your, place of your place of your place of your
Place of your man, yeah
