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 10:35 on a lonely Friday night She was standin' by the fire, unh, 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 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 Never take the place of your man That's all I need, girl 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 la
