Lyrics

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, this is how the story ends He's gonna turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" Yes, I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff What a laugh, this is how our story ends I'll let her turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" I acted like a kid out of school What a fool, now I see this is the end I'll let her turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" Oh, what should I give Though he gave me the air Why should I cry? Ever sigh and wonder why? Yes, I should have seen the signal to stop What a flop, this is how the story ends She's gonna turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" What should I give? Though he gave me the air And why should I cry? Ever sigh and wonder why? I should have seen the signal to stop What a flop, this is how the story ends I let him turn me down and say Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be friends? Oh, yes
