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?"
