Can't We Be Friends Lyrics

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'd found the gal I could trust What a bust, this is how the story ends She's gonna turn me down and say "Can't we be just friends?"
