Can't We Be Friends?

Can't We Be Friends - Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong

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 going to 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 going to turn me down and say

Can't we be friends

Yes

I thought I knew the weight from the shaft

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 this the ends

I'll let him turn me down and say

Can't we be friends

Why should I care

Though she gave me the air

Why should I cry

He was sigh and wonder why

Yes

I should have seen the signal stop

What a flop this is how the story ends

She's gonna turn me down and say

Can't we be friends

Why should I care

Though he gave me the air

And

Why should I cry

He was sigh and wonder why

I should have seen the signal to stop

What a flop this is how the story ends

I'll let him turn me down and say

Can't we be can't we be

Can't we be

Can't we be can't we be

Can't we be friends
