why can't we be friends

why can't we be friends

why can't we be friends

why can't we be friends

I seen you 'round for a long long time

I really remember when you drank my wine

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown

I called but you did not look around

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

I pay my money to the welfare line

I seen you standing in it everytime

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

the color of your skin don't matter to me

as long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

I kinda, like to be the president

I could show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Sometimes I don't speak right

But did I know what I was talking about

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

Why can't we be friends

i know you're working for the CIA

They wouldn't have you in the mafia

Why can't we be friends。。。
