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, watta bust, this is how the story ends: She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be just friends?"
