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 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?
