Never Take The Place of Your Man - Goo Goo Dolls

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
