Can't We Be Friends? sing and play along

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've 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 a 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?"
