Can't We Be Friends

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? Never again, through with love, through with men They play the game without shame, and who's to blame? I thought I'd found a 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? Why should I care? Though he gave me the air Why should I cry, heave a sigh and wonder why? I should have seen the signal to stop What a flop, this is how the story ends I'll let him turn me down and say Can't we be friends? --- Can't We Be Friends - Sammy Davis, Jr.
