Can't We Be Friends

Intro:


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 sto - ry 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 won - der why?

I thought I found the gal I could trust,

Whatta bust, this is how the story ends

She s gonna turn me down and say, "Can t we be friends?"
