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 Verse 1 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 Verse 2 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 Refrain Why should I care, though she gave me the air Why should I cry, heave a sigh and wonder why And wonder why Verse 3 I thought I'd found the girl I could trust What a bust, this is how the story ends She's gonna turn me down and say Can't we be friends Instrumental Break Refrain Why should I care, though she gave me the air Why should I cry, heave a sigh and wonder why And wonder why Verse 3 I thought I'd found the girl I could trust What a bust, this is how the story ends She's gonna turn me down and say Can't we please be friends
