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 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'
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 i could never take the place of your man
La la la oh oh whoa
Never take the place of your man
That's all i need girl
Is a 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
Sha la la la sha la la
