 C
It was only last June when her

G             F
old man ran away

        C
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she

G                      F
knew he was gone to stay

       C
It was ten thirty five on a

G                F
lonely Friday night

        C
She was standin' by the bar,

G                     F
Mmm, she was lookin' alright

      C
I asked her if she wanted to

G
dance and she said that

F
all she wanted was a good man

               C
and wanted to know

       G               F
if I thought I was qualified

          F    F         G        F
And I said baby don't waste your time

F    F        G         F
I know what's on your mind

F              G7         D    D7    D
I may be qualified for a one night stand

                                 G G
But I could never take the place     of your man

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

        C            G                         F
He was all she ever had and now she wanted to die

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

     C             G                                  F
She couldn't stop cryin' cuz she knew he was gone to stay

    C                       G
She ask me if we could be friends and I said

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

               G                  F
I know that we wouldn't be satisfied

           F   F
And I said baby

G                 F
don't waste your time

F    F
I know

G                 F
what's on your mind

F              G7         D   D7    D
I may be qualified for a one night stand

                                 G G
But I could never take the place     of your man
