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 played 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'd let her turn me down
Say, "Can't we be friends?"

But by that day I acted like a kid out of school
What a fool, now I see this is the end
I'd let her turn me down
Say, "Can't we be friends?"

Oh, why should I care
Though she gave me the air?
Why should I cry
Ever 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
Say, "Can't we be friends?"

Why should I care
Though he gave me the air?
And why should I cry
Ever sigh and wonder why?

Yes, 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?"
Can't we be-, can't we be-
Can't we be-, can't we be-
Can't we be friends? Oh, yes!
