Can't We Be Friends? Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong and Modals and Present Simple and Past Simple





Can't We Be Friends? 
by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong


I thought I had found the man of my dreams
Now it             1        (seem), this is how the story                (end)
He's going to turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"


I thought for once it       2          (can not.)  go wrong
Not for long! I can see the way this ends
He is going to turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"



Never again, through with love
Through with men
They            3         (play) their game without shame
And who is to blame?


I          4         (think) 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?"


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?"
I acted like a kid out of school
What a fool, now I         5     (see) this is the end
I'll let her turn me down and say
"Can't we be friends?"


Oh, what      (must  / should  / can )    6    I give?
Though he gave me the air
Why      (should / can / must )     7   I cry?
He was sigh and wonder why


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?"


What should I give?
Though he gave me the air
And why should I cry?
He was sigh and wonder why


I should have seen the signal to stop
What a flop, this is how the story ends
I 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
