Goo Goo Dolls - Never Take The Place Of Your Man Lyrics

It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin', she knew he was gone to stay
10:35 on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the fire, unh, she was lookin' alright

I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said
All she wanted was a good man who wanted to know
If I thought I was qualified

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 can never take the place of your man"

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 gone to stay

She asked me if we couldn't be friends and I said
Oh, honey, baby, that's okay
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"

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

Never take the place of your man
That's all I need, girl
One night, one night, one night stand
I don't wanna be like a steak in your mind
Oh, girl, if you need a friend I'm there by your side

Sha la la la
Sha la la la
