[00:00.00]Can't We Be Friends - Ella Fitzgerald
[00:12.09]I thought I'd found the man of my dreams
[00:17.53]Now it seems this is how the story ends
[00:24.71]He's going to turn me down
[00:27.53]And say can't we be friends
[00:33.88]I thought for once it couldn't go wrong
[00:39.80]Not for long I can see the way this ends
[00:46.46]He's going to turn me down
[00:49.55]And say can't we be friends
[00:55.88]Never again through with love through with men
[01:04.84]They play their game
[01:08.41]Without shame and who's to blame
[01:17.41]I thought I'd found a man I could trust
[01:23.34]What a bust this is how the story ends
[01:29.82]He's going to turn me down and say
[01:33.37]Can't we be friends
[01:44.69]I thought I knew the weight from the shaft
[01:50.09]What a laugh this is how our story ends
[01:56.62]I'll let him turn me down
[01:59.47]And say can't we be friends
[02:06.15]I acted like a kid out of school
[02:11.61]What a fool now I see the way this ends
[02:18.25]I'll let him turn me down
[02:20.44]And say can't we be friends
[02:27.02]Why should I give though he gave me the air
[02:36.12]Why should I cry he was sigh
[02:42.14]And wonder why
[02:48.58]I should heve seen the signal to stop
[02:54.37]What a flop this is how the story ends
[03:00.74]I'll let him turn me down and say can't we be friends
[03:09.74]Can't we be can't we be can't we be friends
