Chorus 1: I thought I’d found the man of my dreams;
Now it seems, this is how the story ends:
He’s goin’ to 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 goin’ to turn me down and say, “Can’t we be friends?”
Never again! Through with love, through with men!
They play their 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 goin’ to turn me down and say, “Can’t we be friends?”

Chorus 2: I thought I knew the signal to stop.
What a flop! I can see the way it ends:
He’s going to turn me down and say, “Can’t we be friends?”
I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff. What a laugh!
This is how the story ends:
He’s going to turn me down and say, “Can’t we be friends?”
Why should I care, though he gave me the air?
Why should I sigh, heave a sigh, and wonder why?
I thought for once it couldn’t go wrong. Not for long.
This is how the story ends:
He’s going to turn me down and say, “Can’t we be friends?”
