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