It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone to stay
It was ten thirty five on a lonely Friday night
She was standin' by the bar, Mmm, she was lookin' 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 cryin' cuz she knew he was gone to stay
She ask me if we could be friends and I said
Oh honey, baby that's a dead end, you know
I know that we wouldn't be satisfied
REPEAT Chorus
