A very basic simple way to play this song.
I COULD NEVER TAKE THE PLACE OF YOUR MAN - PRINCE
It was only last June when her old man ran away
She couldn't stop cryin' `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
I asked her if she wanted to dance and she said that all she wanted was a good man
and wanted to know if I thought I was qualified
And I said, baby don't waste your time
I know what's on your mind
I may be qualified 4 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 2 die
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
She couldn't stop cryin' cause she knew he was gone 2 stay
She asked me if we could be friends, and I said oh honey baby that's a dead end
U 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
We wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand
And I could never take the place of your man
