It was only last June
When her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin'
'Cause she knew he was gone to stay
10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standing by the bar
Hmm, she was lookin' alright, yea

I asked her if she
Wanted to dance ?
An' she said that
All she wanted
Was a good man
An' wanted to know
If I thought I was qualified, yea

I said, Baby, don't waste your time
I know, what's on your mind
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
(Tears in her eyes)
He was all she ever had
An' now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby
An' another one on the way, yea

She couldn't stop cryin'
'Cause she knew he was gone to stay, yea
She asked me, if we could be friends
An' I said, Oh, honey, baby
That's a dead end
You know 'n' I know
That we wouldn't be satisfied
No, no

An' I said, Baby, don't waste your time
I know, what's on your mind
Wouldn't be satisfied
(Wouldn't be satisfied)
With a one night stand
(Oh, oh, oh)
An' I could never take the place
Of your man
Yea, yea, the place of your man
(Ooo, ooo, ooo, ooo)

One, two, one, two.

[Verse 1]
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 fire and ooh she was looking alright

[B-Section]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
She couldn't stop crying cause she knew he was gone to stay

[B-Section]
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

[Chorus]
And I said baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind baby
Wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man

[Chorus out]
