Can't We Be Friends


Can't We Be Friends
music by Kay Swift (left)
lyric by Paul James (right)

I took each word she said as gospel true, 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'd found a gal I could trust.
What a bust!
This is how the story ends.
She's gonna turn me down and say can't we be friends...
