Can't We Be Friends Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong

I thought I'd found the man 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
He's going 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 going to turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"

I thought I knew the weight from the shaft
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 ends
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 heve 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?
