I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man (Live at DAFT)

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 standing by the bar
Ooh, she was looking alright, yeah

I asked her if she wanted to dance
And she said that all she wanted was a good man
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
She was all he 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 had gone to stay
Mmm, 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, yeah
That we wouldn't be satisfied
Mmm, no

And I said, baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind, yeah
You wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man

With a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
