Can't We Be Friends

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
So 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?"

Never again and through with love
And through with them
They play their game without shame
And who's to blame?

I thought I'd found a girl I could trust
What a bust! Now I see the way this ends
She's gonna turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"

Never again and through with love
And through with them
They play their game without shame
And who's to blame?

I should have seen the signals and stopped
What a flop! Now I see the way this ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
So it seems this is how the story ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"
