Intro (2x)  

It hurt me so bad when I saw the tears in her eyes
She was all he ever wanted and now she wanted to die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn't stop cryin' she knew he was goin' to stay

She asked me if we couldn't be friends and I said
O Honey baby that's OK you know and
I know know know you wouldn't be satisfied.

I said baby don't waste your time
and 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

-Solo- (B-F#-E 4x)

I may be qualified for a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
