I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man
It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay
It was 10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar
Mm, she was lookin' alright, yeah
asked if she wanted 2 dance
& she said that all she wanted was a good man
& wanted 2 know if thought was qualified, yeah
& said, "Baby, don't waste ur time
know what's on ur mind
may B qualified 4 a 1-night stand
But could never take the place of ur man"
Ooh
It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears N her eyes
He was all she ever had & now she wanted 2 die
He left her with a baby & another 1 on the way, yeah
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone 2 stay, yeah
She asked me if we could B friends
& said, "Oh, honey baby, that's a dead end
U know & know that we wouldn't B satisfied"
No
& said, "Baby, don't waste ur time
know what's on ur mind
wouldn't B satisfied with a 1-night stand (Ooh...)
& could never take the place of ur man"
Yeah yeah, the place of ur man
Ooh...
1 2, 1 2
Ow!
