rate me

It was only last june when her old man ran away<br>She couldn't stop crying 'cause she knew he was gone 2 stay<br>It was 10:35 on a lonely friday night<br>She was standin' by the bar<br>Hmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah<br>I asked if she wanted 2 dance<br>And she said all she wanted was a good man<br>And wanted 2 know if I thought I was qualified, yeah<br>And I said, baby don't waste your time<br>I know what's on your mind<br>I may be qualified 4 a one night stand<br>But I could never take the place of your man<br><br>It hurt me so bad when she told me<br>With tears in her eyes (tears in her eyes)<br>He was all she ever had and now she wanted 2 die<br>He left her with a baby and another one on the way<br>She couldn't stop cryin'<br>Cause she knew he was gone 2 stay<br>She asked me if we could be friends<br>And I said, oh, honey baby that's a dead end<br>U know and I know that we wouldn't be satisfied<br><br>And I said, baby don't waste your time<br>I know what's on your mind<br>U wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand<br>And I could never take the place of your man<br><br>Yeah, yeah, the place of your man
