Libby Holman - Can't We Be Friends? lyrics

(Verse) I took each word he said as gospel truth The way a silly little child would I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth I was no baby in the wild wood He didn't mean it I should've seen it Now it's too late (Chorus 1) I thought I'd met the man of my dreams Now it seems This is how the story ends He's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?" I thought for once it couldn't go wrong Not for long This is how the story ends He's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?" Never again Through with love, through with men They say they're game Without shame And who's to blame? I thought I'd met one man I could trust What a bust! This is how the story ends He's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?" (Chorus 2) I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff What a laugh! This is how the story ends I let him turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?" I acted like a kid out of school What a fool! I see the way this ends I let him turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?" Why should I care If he's gone and given me the air? Why should I cry Heave a sigh And wonder why? Ooh, 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 friends?"
