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
