i could never take the place of your man

only last june when her old (wo)man ran away
she couldnt stop crying cause she knew he was gone to stay
10:35 on a lonely friday night
she was standing by the fire and, oooh, she was looking alright

i asked her if she wanted to dance
and she said that
all she wanted was a good (wo)man
and wanted to know
if i thought i was qualified

and i said baby dont waste your time
i know whats on your mind
i may be qualified for a one night stand
but i could never take the place of your (wo)man

it hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes
(s)he was all she ever had and now she wanted to die
(s)he left her with a baby and another one on the way
she couldnt stop crying cause she knew (s)he was gone to stay

she asked me if we could be friends
and i said, oh honey baby, thats a dead end
you know and i know
that we wouldnt be satisfied

and i said baby dont waste your time
i know whats on your mind baby
wouldnt be satisfied with a one night stand
and i could never take the place of your man


~still about xapi, dedicate to our time, when she woke me up when september ended (2009). and for i could never take the place of your man/woman
