Can't We Be Friends

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 found the gal I could trust

What a bust, this is how the story ends

She's gonna turn me down and say

"Can't we be just friends?"
