Never Take The Place Of Your Man Lyrics

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
