Jamie Cullum Lyrics
"Why Can't We Be Friends"

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams, so 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?"

Never again and through with love and through with them,
They play their games without shame and who's to blame?

I thought I found the gal I could trust,
What a bust, now I see the way this ends:
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"

Never again and through with love and through with them,
They play their games without shame and who's to blame?

I should have seen the signals and stopped,
What a flop, now I see the way this ends.
I let her turn me down and say "Cant we be friends?"

I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams, so it seems,
This is how the story ends
I let her turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
