Lyrics Can't We Be Friends? - Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong

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 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
He’s gonna 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 gonna turn me down and say
«Can't we be friends?»
