can't we be friends?

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 the 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?

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'll let him turn me down and say

can't we be friends?
