Never Take the Place of Your Man

It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn’t stop cryin', she knew he was gone to stay
Ten thirty five on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the fire, uh, she was lookin' alright
I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said
All she wanted was a good man who wanted to know if I thought I was qualified
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 can never take the place of your man
It hurt me so bad when I saw the tears in her eyes
She was all he ever wanted and now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn’t stop cryin' she knew he was gone to stay
She asked me if we couldn’t be friends and I said
Oh, honey baby, that’s okay you know and I know, know, know you wouldn’t be
satisfied
I said, baby, don’t waste your time
And 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
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
La la la oh oh woah
Never take the place of your man
That’s all I need, girl
Is a one night, one night, one night stand
I don’t wanna be like a steak in your mind
Oh, girl, if you need a friend I’m there by your side
Sha la la la, sha la la
Sha la la la, sha la la
