I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man

I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man - Soul Groove

It was only last June when her old man ran away

She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone to stay

It was 10:35 on a lonely friday night

She was standin' by the bar

Hmm she was lookin' alright yeah

I asked if she wanted to dance

And she said that all she wanted was a good man

I wanted to know if I thought I was qualified yeah

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

It hurt me so bad when she told me

With tears in her eyes (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 (yeah)

She couldn't stop cryin'

Cause she knew he was gone too stay (yeah)

She asked me if we could be friends

And I said oh honey baby that's a dead end

U know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied (no)

And I said baby don't waste your time

I know what's on your mind

I wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand

And I could never take the place of your man

The place of your man
