I thought I'd found the man of my dreams
Now it seems, this is how the story ends
He's going to 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 going to 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 going to turn me down and say
Can't we be friends
Yes, I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff
What a laugh, this is how our story ends
I'll let her turn me down and say
Can't we be friends
I acted like a kid out of school
What a fool, now I see this is the end
I'll let her turn me down and say
Can't we be friends
Oh what should I care
Though he gave me the air
Why should I cry
He was sigh and wonder why
Yes, I should have seen the signal stop
What a flop, this is how the story ends
She's gonna turn me down and say
Can't we be friends
What should I give
Though he gave me the air
And why should I cry
He was 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, can't we be, can't we be
Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be friends
Oh yes
