Can't We Be Friends? lyrics

I took each word she said as gospel truth

The way a silly little child would

I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth

I was no babe in the wild, wild wood

She didn't mean it, I should have seen it

But now it's too late

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams

Now it seems this is how the story ends

She's gonna turn me down and say

"Can't we be friends?"

I thought for once it couldn't go wrong

Not for long, I can see the way this ends

She's gonna turn me down and say

"Can't we be friends?"

Why should I care, though she gave me the air?

Why should I cry, heave a sigh and wonder why?

And wonder why

I thought I'd found the girl I could trust

What a bust, this is how the story ends

She's gonna turn me down and say

"Can't we be friends?"

Why should I care, though she gave me the air?

Why should I cry, heave a sigh and wonder why?

And wonder why

I thought I'd found the girl I could trust

What a bust, this is how the story ends

She's gonna turn me down and say

"Can't we please be friends?"
