Chorus: Why can't we be friends (4x) I've seen you 'round for a long long time I remembered you when you drank my wine Chorus I've seen you walking down in Chinatown I called you but you could not look around I paid my money to the welfare line I see you standing in it every time Chorus The color of your skin don't matter to me As long as we can live in harmony I'd kind of like to be the President Then I can show you how your money's spent Sometimes I don't speak right But yet I know what I'm talking about I know you're working for the CIA They wouldn't have you in the Mafi-A.
