Ella Fitzgerald - Can't We Be Friends?

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 gonna turn me down and say Can't we be friends? Ever 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 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 ends 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? He would sigh and wonder why 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 friends? Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be friends?
