Lyrics: Paul James

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams.
So it seems, this is how the story ends:
She's goin' 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:
She's goin' to turn me down and say,
"Can't we be friends?"

Never again, I'm through with love,
And through with them!
They play their game without shame, and who's to blame?

I thought I'd found a girl I could trust.
What a bust, now I see the way this ends
She's goin' to turn me down and say,
"Can't we be friends?"

I should have see the signals to stop
What a flop, now I see the way this ends:
I'll let her turn me down and say,
"Can't we be friends?"

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams.
So it seems, this is how the story ends:
I'll let her turn me down and say,
"Can't we be friends?"
