Can't We Be Friends?

Can't We Be Friends? - Ella Fitzgerald

Written by：Kay Swift/Paul James

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 goin' 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 goin' to turn me down and say

Can't we be friends

I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff

What a laugh this is how our story ends

I'll let him turn me down and say

Can't we be friends

I acted like a kid out of school

What a fool now I see the way this end

I'll let him turn me down and say

Can't we be friends

What should I give

Though he gave me the air

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'll let him turn me down and say

Can't we be friends

Can't we be can't we be can't we be friends
