[Intro]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends? (Why?)
Why can't we be friends? (Why can't we be?)
Why can't we be friends? (Yeah)
Why can't we be friends? (Yeah, ayy)

[Verse 1]
It's probably 'cause I didn't call you back
Sorry 'bout the time, I lost track
And every word I said that made you so, so mad
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Or maybe you just think I'm ugly
And my behavior is toxic
It ain't the first time I heard that in my life
I'm startin' to think you look at me like a project

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm overly cautious that my heart'll get
Caught in the waves you be spinnin'
Just let me finish, goodbye and good riddance
I think it's better we go separate ways
I've been askin' you the same fuckin' question for days
[Chorus]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

[Verse 2]
Maybe 'cause
I left a bad taste in your mouth like good shrooms
That's why you still trippin' on me, but that's cool
Last June, you were smitten with me
Now we see each other out and you act differently
Feel like I'm still high school playin' pretend
Tryna be my enemy when I just wanna be friends
Oops, I did it again
Sent a long-ass text, tryna make amends
But I know how it ends

[Pre-Chorus]
I get caught in the waves you be spinnin'
Just let me finish, goodbye and good riddance
I think it's better we go separate ways
I've been askin' you the same fuckin' question for days
[Chorus]
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

[Outro]
Why can't, why can't we, we, be, why, be friends, be friends
Why can't, why can't we, we, why can't we be friends?
Why can't, why can't we, we, be, why, be friends, be friends
Why can't, why can't we, we, why can't we be friends?
