It was only last june when her old man ran away
she couldn't stop cryin', she knew he was gone to stay
ten thirty five on a lonely friday night
she was standin' by the fire, uh, 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 okay 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 woah
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
