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?"
