Smash Mouth - Why Can't We Be Friends

Why can't we be friends (4x)

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 (4x)

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
everytime

Why can't we be friends (4x)

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 (4x)

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 (50x)
