Can't We Be Friends

I took each word she said as gospel truth the way a silly little child would. I cant excuse it on the grounds of youth, I was no babe in the wild, wild wood. She didnt mean it, I should have seen it, But now its too late. I thought Id found the girl of my dreams, Now it seems, This is how the story ends: Shes gonna turn me down and say, Cant we be friends? I thought for once it couldnt go wrong, Not for long, I can see the way this ends: Shes gonna turn me down and say, Cant 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: Shes gonna turn me down and say, Cant we be just friends?
