Can’t We Be Friends

I took each word    she s    aid 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 i     t’s too late.

I thought I’d found the girl of my dreams,

Now it seems,      this is how the sto –      ry e    nds —

She’s gonna turn me down and say,

I th    ought for once it couldn’t go wrong,

Not for long,      I can see the way th     is en    ds —

She’s gonna turn me down and say, “Can’t we be friends?”

Why should I care though      she g    ave me   the a     ir,

And wonder why, and won – der why?

I thought I found the gal I could trust,

Whatta bust, th     is is how the story e     nds

She’s gonna turn me down and say, “Can’t we be friends?”
