Can't we be Friends?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
So it seems this is how the story ends:
She's goin'to 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 goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"
Never again! through and with love
And through with them!
They play their game without shame,
And who's to blame?
I thought I'd found a girl I could trust
What a bust! now I see the way this ends:
She's goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"
Never again! through and with love
And through with them!
They play their game without shame,
And who's to blame?
I should have seen the signals and stopped
What a flop! now I see the way this ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
So it seems this is how the story ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"
