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 ya, I seen ya, I seen ya
'Round for a long long time
I really, I really ,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 ya, I seen ya, I seen ya
Walkin' down in Chinatown
I called ya, I called ya, I called
But you did not look around
I pay my, I pay my, I pay my
Money to the welfare line
I seen ya, I seen ya, I seen ya
Standing in it every time
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, the color, the color
Of your skin don't matter to me
As long as, as long as long as
We can live in harmony
I kinda, I kinda, I kinda
Like to be the president
And I could and I could and 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
I know you're working for the CIA
They wouldn't have you in the mafia
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
