[Verse 1]

       B5                      F#5          E5
It was only last June when her old man ran away
    B5                        F#5               E5
She couldn't stop cryin', she knew he was gonna stay
B5          F#5           E5
10: 35 on a lonely Friday night
        B5                    F#5                    E5
She was standin' by the fire, unh, she was lookin' alright

[Verse 2]

  B5                         F#5                E
I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said
                                            B5
All she wanted was a good man who wanted to know
     F#5                E
If I thought I was qualified

[Chorus]

(Using Main Riff x2)
        E5          F#5        E5
I said "Baby, don't waste your time
E5            F#5      E5
I know what's on your mind
  E                     F#          E5
I may be qualified for a one night stand
          E5             F#5   N.C.
But I can never take the place of your man"

[Verse 3]

   B5                    F#5                  E5
It hurt me so bad when I saw the tears in her eyes
        B5                     F#5               E5
She was all he ever wanted and now she wanted to die
   B5                        F#5               E5
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
    B5            F#5                          E5
She couldn't stop cryin' she knew he was gonna stay

[Verse 4]

    B5             F#
She asked me if we couldn't be friends and I said
    E
Oh, honey, baby, that's okay
               B5
You know and I know, know, know
    F#5              E
You wouldn't be satisfied

[Chorus]

(Using Main Riff x2)
        E5          F#5        E5
I said "Baby, don't waste your time
E5            F#5      E5
I know what's on your mind
  E                     F#          E5
I may be qualified for a one night stand
          E5             F#5   N.C.
But I can never take the place of your man"
