Intro (2x)  <I think you get the picture for the rest of this song>



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
