Why Can't We Be Friends Songtext
von Jacob Miller

Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you 'round for a long long time
I really ′membered you when you drink my wine

Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you walkin′ down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around

Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I bring my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time


Why can′t we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I'd kinda like to be the President
so I can show you how your money′s spent

Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Sometimes I don′t speak too bright
but yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?


I know you′re working for the CIA
they wouldn't have you in the Mafia

Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?

Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
Why can′t we be friends?
