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 goin'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:
She's goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

Never again! through and 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 goin'to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

Never again! through and 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?"
