Can't We Be Friends? Lyrics - Toni Harper

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, 

What a bust, this is how the story ends: 

She's gonna turn me down and say, 

"Can't we be just friends?"
