Can't we be friends??

I really like this take/twist on Jamie Cullum's album on an old Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald classic...

I think it's something that every guy (and gal) can relate to at one point or another!! :P

It's light, and funny and excellent jazz.... :)

I thought I’d found the girl of my dreams.
So it seems, this is how the story ends:
She’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:
She’s goin’ to turn me down and say,
Can’t we be friends?

Never again! I'm through with love,
I'm through with them!
They play their game without shame, and who’s to blame?

I thought I’d found a girl I could trust.
What a bust! Now I see the way this ends:
She’s goin’ to turn me down and say,
Can’t we be friends?

Never again! I'm through with love,
I'm through with them!
They play their game without shame, and who’s to blame?

I should have seen the signals to stop,
What a flop! Now I see the way this ends:
I let her turn me down, and say,
Can't we be friends?

I thought I 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?
