Sorry No We Can't Be Friends

We met in the summer on a Brooklyn corner when I was just four and you three And you liked my Cher doll and I liked your big wheel so we got along naturally (became friends naturally) We’d run through the sprinklers and get into trouble The boys we would tease and then run Then I would get punished and you would get scolded Ending our day in the sun Apparently you were a bad influence Putting our plans to an end no no, no no, sorry no we can’t be friends We met in our grade school and you sat behind me you were the first to say hi I had just moved here and you had just transferred so you understood my plight I asked mom if you could come over and play And everything was fine till you came My mom noticed you weren’t one of our kind and she sent you home right away Now My mom’s a bigot, and your mom’s a harlot But it seems they’re fighting again No no, no no, sorry no we can’t be friends I met you in high school we had the same classes like bio and drama and chem We’d go out on weekends, and liked the same music There was no separating us then Now I liked a boy that you happened to like And then he happened to like me You made me choose as you hated to lose “it’s either him or it’s me” I tried to explain it wasn’t my fault that love is a thing that just ha-ppens (loves not a thing to depend?) you said no no, no no, sorry no we can’t be friends We met in college and were in-sep-ra-ble For so many years we were close We each got married and had our 2 children But your love is what I valued most. come the election we’re in different directions I voted blue and you red 20 years of friendship were ended on Facebook From things that we wrote and had said Sorry this tale won’t end happily This is where the story will end No no, no no, sorry no we can’t be friends No No No No Sorry no we can’t be friends
