가사
[Verse 1]
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?"
[Verse 2]
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?"
[Bridge]
Never again
Through with love, through with men
They play their game without shame
And who's to blame?
[Verse 3]
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?"
[Verse 4]
Yes, I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff
What a laugh
This is how the story ends
I'll let her turn me down
And say "Can't we be friends?"
[Verse 5]
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?"
[Bridge]
Oh, why should I care?
Though she gave me the air
Why should I cry
Have a sigh
And wonder why?
[Verse 6]
Yes
I should have seen the signal "Stop"
What a flop
This is how the story ends
She's gonna turn me down
And say "Can't we be friends?"
[Bridge]
Why should I care?
Though he gave me the air
And why should I cry
Have a sigh
And wonder why?
[Verse 7]
Yes
I should have seen the signal to stop
What a flop
This is how the story ends
I'll 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
