I thought I'd found the man of my dreams.
Now it seems, This is how the story ends:
He's going 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:
He's going to turn me down and say
Can't we be friends?
Never again! Through with Love,
Through with men!
They play their game without shame, and who's to blame?
I thought I'd found a man I could trust.
What a bust! I can see the way this ends:
He's goin' to turn me down and say,
"Can't We Be Friends?"
I thought I'd knew the wheat for the tares
What a rave! I can see the way this ends
He's going to turn me down and say
Can't we be friends?
I acted like a kid out the school
What a fool! I can see the way this ends
He's going to turn me down and say
Can't we be friends?
I should have grieve inside
And wonder why?
I should have seen a signal to stop
What a blow! I can see the way this ends
He's going to turn me down and say
Can't we be friends?
Why should I care, though he gave me the air
I should have grieve inside
And wonder why?
I should have seen a signal to stop
What a blow! I can see the way this ends
He's going to turn me down and say
[Can't we be (5x)]
Can't we be friends?
