Wish that I could figure out
What the heck is goin' on
One day everything is cool
Next day we can't get along
Last night on the telephone
You kept getting mad at me
Today, you haven't said a word
And that just makes me wanna scream
Why can't we all be friends? (be friends)
Why can't we just keep in?
Why can't we, tell me why can't we be friends? (we gotta be, we gotta be)
Why can't we learn to trust?
Why can't we believe in us?
Why can't we, tell me why can't we be friends?
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
We should just be havin' fun
Getting crazy, breakin' rules
Goin' shopping at the mall
Talkin' 'bout the boys at school
No more rumors, no more lies
No one's feelings getting hurt
Time for us to stop right now
Before we go from bad to worse
Why can't we all be friends? (be friends)
Why can't we just keep in?
Why can't we, tell me why can't we be friends? (we gotta be, we gotta be)
Why can't we learn to trust?
Why can't we believe in us?
Why can't we - tell me why can't we be friends?
Why can't we all be friends? (be friends)
Why can't we just keep in?
Why can't we - tell me why can't we be friends? (we gotta be, we gotta be)
Why can't we learn to trust?
Why can't we believe in us?
Why can't we - tell me why can't we be friends?
