Can't We Be Friends?

(Verse)

I took each word he said as gospel truth

The way a silly little child would

I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth

I was no baby in the wild wood

He didn't mean it

I should've seen it

Now it's too late

(Chorus 1)

I thought I'd met the man of my dreams

Now it seems

This is how the story ends

He's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"

I thought for once it couldn't go wrong

Not for long

This is how the story ends

He's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"

Never again

Through with love, through with men

They say they're game

Without shame

And who's to blame?

I thought I'd met one 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?"

(Chorus 2)

I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff

What a laugh!

This is how the story ends

I let him turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"

I acted like a kid out of school

What a fool!

I see the way this ends

I let him turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"

Why should I care

If he's gone and given me the air?

Why should I cry

Heave a sigh

And wonder why?

Ooh, 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 friends?"
