Can't We Be Friends

Woody Herman、Ben Webster - Can't We Be Friends

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams

Now it seems this is how the story ends

He's going 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

She's going to turn me down and say

Can't we be friends

Never again through with love

Through with girls

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

She's going to 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 our story ends

I'll let her 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'll let her turn me down and say

Can't we be friends

Why should I care

Though he gave me the air

Why should I cry

She was sigh and wonder why

Yes I should have seen the signal to stop

What a flop this is how the story ends

I let her turn me down and say

Can't we be friends
