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 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 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"
