Can't We Be Friends Lyrics by Nina Simone Nina Simone , Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong
Below, you will find the lyrics for Can't We Be Friends by Nina Simone.
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
What a bust, this is how the story ends
She's gonna turn me down and say
'Can't we be just friends?'
