I took each word she said 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 it's too late.
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams,
Now it seems, this is how the sto - ry 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 won - der why?
I thought I found the gal I could trust,
Whatta bust, this is how the story ends
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
