Can't We Be Friends?

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 the 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, why should I care?

Though she gave me the air

Why should I cry

Have a sigh

And wonder why?

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?"

Why should I care?

Though he gave me the air

And why should I cry

Have a sigh

And wonder why?

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
