It was only last June when her old man ran away

I know what's on your mind

I may be qualified for a one night stand

It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes

He was all she ever had and now she wanted to die

He left her with a baby and another one on the way

She ask me if we could be friends and I said

   F5
Oh honey, baby that's a dead end, you know

I know that we wouldn't be satisfied
[Chorus]
           C          G          F
And I said baby don't waste your time

C             G       F
I know what's on your mind
