I thought I 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
He`s going to turn me down
And say "can`t we be friends"
Never again
Through with love
Through with men
They play their game without shame
And who`s to blame
I thought I 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"
Why should I care
Though he gave me the air
And why should I cry
Even sigh
Or wonder why
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
can`t we be
can`t we be
can`t we be
can`t we be
can`t we be friends"
