Lyrics - Can't We Be Friends by Frank Sinatra

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?
