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 looking 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
