[Verse 1]
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
So it seems this is how the story ends:
She's going to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

[Verse 2]
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
Not for long! I can see the way this ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

[Hook]
Never again! And through and with love
And through with them!
They play their game without shame
And who's to blame?

[Verse 3]
I thought I'd found a girl I could trust
What a bust! Now I see the way this ends
She's going to turn me down and say
"Can't we be Friends?"

[Hook]
Never again! And through and with love
And through with them!
They play their game without shame
And who's to blame?

[Chorus/Outro]
I should have seen the signals and stopped
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?"
