Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong — Cant We Be Friends?

[Verse 1: Ella Fitzgerald] I thought I'd found the man of my dreams Now it seems, this is how the story ends He's going to turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 2: Ella Fitzgerald] I thought for once it couldn't go wrong Not for long! I can see the way this ends He's going to turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 3: Ella Fitzgerald] Never again, through with love Through with men They play their game without shame And who's to blame? [Verse 4: Ella Fitzgerald] I thought I'd found a man I could trust What a bust, this is how the story ends He's going to turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 5: Louis Armstrong] Yes, I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff What a laugh, this is how our story ends I'll let her turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 6: Louis Armstrong] I acted like a kid out of school What a fool, now I see this is the end I'll let her turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 7: Louis Armstrong] Oh, what should I give? Though she gave me the air Why should I cry Ever sigh and wonder why? [Verse 8: Louis Armstrong] Yes, I should have seen the signal to stop What a flop, this is how the story ends She's gonna turn me down and say "Can't we be friends?" [Verse 9: Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong] What should I give? Though he gave me the air And why should I cry Ever sigh and wonder why? [Verse 10: Together] I should have seen the signal to stop What a flop, this is how the story ends I'll let him turn me down and say Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be Can't we be, can't we be, can't we be friends? Oh, yes
