[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]
