Kay Swift, Paul James

I thought I'd found 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, I can see the way this ends
He's gonna turn me down and say
Can't we be friends?

Why should I care
Though he gave me the air?
Why should I cry, heave a sigh
And wonder why?

I thought I found a man I could trust
What a bust! This is how the story ends
He's gonna break my heart and say
Can't we be friends?

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

I should have seen the signal and stopp'd
What a flop!
Now I see the way this ends
I'll let him turn me down and say

Can't we be friends?
