Can't We Be Friends?
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, wild, wood
He didn't mean it
I should've seen it
But now it's too late
I thought I've found 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 I've found the man I could trust
What a bust!
This is where 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 play they're game
Without shame
And who's to blame?
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
Not for long
This is where the story ends
He's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we
be just friends?"
I thought I've found the man of my dreams
Now it seems
This is where the story ends
He's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we
be friends?"
I thought to see the signal to stop
What a flop!
This is how the story ends
He's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be just
friends?"
Never again
Through with love, through with men
They play they're game
Without shame
And who's to blame?
I thought I see the signal to stop
What a flop!
This is how the story ends
He's gonna 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?"
The way a silly little child would
I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth
I was no baby in the wild, wild, wood
He didn't mean it
I should've seen it
But now it's too late
I thought I've found 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 I've found the man I could trust
What a bust!
This is where 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 play they're game
Without shame
And who's to blame?
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong

This is how the story ends
He's gonna 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?"
