Can't We Be Friends

Sammy Davis Jr. · Other Songs - Sammy Davis Jr.

I thought I'd found the man of my dreams

Now it seems this is how the story ends

He'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

He's gonna turn me down and say

Can't we be friends?



Never again, through with love, through with men

They play the game without shame, and who's to blame?



I thought I'd found a man I could trust

What a bust, this is how the story ends

He's gonna turn me down and say

Can't we be friends?



Why should I care?

Though he gave me the air

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



I should have seen the signal to stop

What a flop, this is how the story ends

I'll let him turn me down and say

Can't we be friends?
