LYRICFLUENTCan't We Be Friends Lyrics by 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?'
