It was only last June when her old man ran away
C G FShe couldn't stop cryin' `cause she knew he was gone to stay
C G FIt was 10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar, Hmm, she was lookin' alright
C G FI asked her if she wanted to dance and she said that all she wanted was a good man
C G Fand wanted to know if I thought I was qualified
And I said, baby don't waste your time
F C FI know what's on your mind
F C G DI may be qualified 4 a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
C G FIt hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes
He was all she ever had and now she wanted 2 die
C G FHe left her with a baby and another one on the way
C G FShe couldn't stop cryin' cause she knew he was gone 2 stay
She asked me if we could be friends, and I said oh honey baby that's a dead end
C G FU know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied
F C FAnd I said, baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
F C G DWe wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand
F GAnd I could never take the place of your man
