Only last June when her old man went 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

And 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

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

He was all she ever had

And now she wanted to die

He left her with a baby

And another one on the way

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

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

And I said baby don't waste your time

I know what's on your mind baby
