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? "
