Can't We Be Friends' - Mildred Bailey

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?»
