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

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
