Can’t We Be Friends? Lyrics by Libby Holman

Something to Remember Her By (2005)

1929

(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?"
