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