I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man (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 ten thirty-five on a lonely Friday night
She was standing by the bar
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
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 crying '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 with a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man
Yeah, yeah, the place of your man
One, two, one, two
She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay
It was ten thirty-five on a lonely Friday night
She was standing by the bar
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
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 crying '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 with a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man
Yeah, yeah, the place of your man
One, two, one, two
