Prince I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man Lyrics

It was only last June when her old man ran away

She couldn't stop cryin' 'cause she knew he was gone to stay.
It was 10.35 on a lonely Friday night

She was standin' by the bar
hmm
she was lookin' alright.

I asked her if she wanted to dance

And she said that all she wanted was a good man

And wanted to know if I thought I was qualified.

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

He was oll she ever had and now she wanted to die.
He left her with a baby and another one on the way

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.

And I said: Baby
don't waste your time

I know what's on your mind.
It would be satisfied for a one night stand

But I could never take the place of your man.
