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?"
