"Can't We Be Friends?" lyrics - SETH MACFARLANE

[Intro:]
I took each word she said as gospel truth
The way a silly little child would
I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth
I was no babe in the wild, wild wood
She didn't mean it, I should have seen it
But now it's too late

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams
Now it seems this is how the story ends
She'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
She's gonna turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"

[Refrain:]
Why should I care, though she gave me the air?
Why should I cry, heave a sigh and wonder why?
And wonder why

I thought I'd found the girl I could trust
What a bust, this is how the story ends
She's gonna turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"

[Instrumental break]

[Refrain:]
Why should I care, though she gave me the air?
Why should I cry, heave a sigh and wonder why?
And wonder why

I thought I'd found the girl I could trust
What a bust, this is how the story ends
She's gonna turn me down and say
"Can't we please be friends?"
