I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man

Baby don't waste your time

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 ooh she was looking alright


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


And I said baby don't waste your time (and I know)
I know what's on your mind baby
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
Ohh the place of your man

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 oh no
She couldn't stop crying cause she knew he was gone to stay


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
Yeah yeah

And I said baby don't waste your time (no no no no)
I know what's on your mind baby (on your mind baby)
Wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
Oh yeah baby baby
The place of your man

Baby don't waste your time (don't waste your time you know you're not alone)
I know what's on your mind
Baby don't waste your time (don't waste your time you know you're not alone)
I know what's on your mind
Baby don't waste your time you know you're not alone
