Eels - 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 crying 'cause she knew he was gone 2 stay 10:35 on a lonely Friday night She was standin' by the bar Mmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah I asked her if she wanted 2 dance and she said that All she wanted was a good man and wanted 2 know If I thought I was qualified, yeah And I said, baby don't waste your time I know what's on your mind I may be qualified 4 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 all she ever had and now she wanted 2 die He left her with a baby and another one on the way, yeah She couldn't stop cryin' 'Cause she knew he was gone 2 stay, yeah She asked me if we could be friends And I said, oh, honey baby that's a dead end U 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 U wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand And I could never take the place of your man The place of your man
