I thought I'd found
The man of my dreams
Now it seems
This is how the story ends
He's goin' 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 gonna 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 gonna 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 the story ends
I let 'em 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 let him turn me
Down and say
Can't we be friends
Why should I care
Though he gave me
The air
Why should I cry
Heave a sigh
And wonder why
Yes
I should have seen
The signal to stop
What a flop
This is how the story ends
He's gonna turn me
Down and say
Can't we be friends
Why should I care
Though he gave me
The air
Why should I cry
Heave a sigh
Wonder why
Oh 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
