Can't We Be Friends?

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 found the gal I could trust, Watta bust, this is how the story ends: She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be just friends?"
