Can't We Be Friends Songtext
von Frank Sinatra & Ella Fitzgerald

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?"
