Only last june
When an old man ran away
She couldn't stop crying
Cause she knew he was gone to stay
Ten thirty five
On a lonely friday night
Oh she was standing by the fire
Oh she was looking alright yeah
I asked her if she wanted to dance
And she said that all she wanted was a good man
A good man a good man
If I thought I was qualified
And I said baby don't waste your time
I know I know what's on your mind baby
I may be qualified
For a one night stand
But I could never take the place of your man
Oh the place of your man oh
It hurt me so bad
When she told me with tears in her eyes
Tears in her eyes
It 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
Hey yeah and I said baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
You wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man
Oh yeah baby baby
The place of your man
Oh hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Baby don't waste your time
Don't waste your time
You know I know what's on your mind
Baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
