Eels - I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man lyrics

[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 to stay
It was 10: 35 on a lonely friday night
She was standin' by the bar
Hmm, she was lookin' alright, yeah
I asked if she wanted to dance
And she said all she wanted was a good man
And wanted to 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 for 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 to die


He left her with a baby and
Another one on the way
She couldn't stop cryin' cause she knew
He was gone to stay
She asked me if we could be friends
And I said, oh, honey baby that's a dead end
You 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
I may be qualified for a one night stand
But, I could never take the place of your man
