Lyrics Ella Fitzgerald

Ella Fitzgerald

Can't We Be Friends?

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:

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?
