I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man Lyrics - The Hits 1 - Prince

It was only last June 

When her old man ran away 

She couldn't stop crying 

'Cause she knew he was gone to stay 

It was ten thirty-five on a lonely Friday night 

She was standin' by the bar, 

She was lookin' alright, yeah 

I asked if she wanted to dance 

And she said all she wanted was a good man 

And wanted to know 

If I thought I was qualified, yeah

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 (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, yeah 

She couldn't stop cryin' 

'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 

No

And I said, baby don't waste your time 

I know what's on your mind 

You wouldn't be satisfied (wouldn't be satisfied) 

With a one night stand (uh, uh, uh) 

And I could never take the place of your man, oh 

Yeah, yeah, the place of your man (uh, uh, uh) 

One, two
