Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong - Can't We Be Friends? lyrics

[Verse 1: Ella Fitzgerald] 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?" [Verse 2: Ella Fitzgerald] I thought for once it couldn't go wrong Not for long! I can see the way this ends He's going to turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 3: Ella Fitzgerald] Never again, through with love Through with men They play their game without shame And who's to blame? [Verse 4: Ella Fitzgerald] 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?" [Verse 5: Louis Armstrong] Yes, I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff What a laugh, this is how our story ends I'll let her turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 6: Louis Armstrong] I acted like a kid out of school What a fool, now I see this is the end I'll let her turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 7: Louis Armstrong] Oh, what should I give? Though he gave me the air Why should I cry? He was sigh and wonder why [Verse 8: Louis Armstrong] Yes, I should have seen the signal to stop What a flop, this is how the story ends She's gonna turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 9: Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong] What should I give? Though he gave me the air And why should I cry? He was sigh and wonder why [Verse 10: Together] I should have seen the signal to stop What a flop, this is how the story ends I let him turn me down and say Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be friends? Oh, yes
