Can’t We Be Friends? Songtext
von Anita O’Day

I thought I′d found the man of my dreams
Now it seems, this is how the story ends
He'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
He's gonna turn me down and say, "Can′t we be friends?"

Never again, through with love, through with men
They play their game without shame
And who′s to blame?


I thought I'd found a man I could trust
What a bust, this is how the story ends
He′s gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"

I acted like a kid out of school
What a fool!
Now I see the way this ends
He′s gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"

Why should I care though he gave me the air?
Why should I cry
Heave a sigh and wonder why?

I should have seen the signal to stop
What a flop, this is how the story ends
I let him turn me down and say, "Can′t we be friends?"
