I don't believe you

I can't understand

She let go of my hand

And left me here facing the wall.

I'd sure like to know

Why did she go, but then

I can't get close to her at all.

Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime

She said she'd never forget.

But now morning is clear

Its like I ain't here

She acts like we never have met.

Its all new to me

Like some mystery

It could even be like a myth.

Yes its hard to think on

That she's the same one

That only last night I was with.

From darkness dreams are deserted

Am I still dreaming yet?

Oh, I wish she'd unlock

Her voice once and talk

'Stead of acting like we never met.

If she ain't feeling well

Well then why don't she tell

'Stead of turning her back to my face.

Mmm, without any doubt

She just seems too far out

For me to return to or chase.

Though the night ran swirling and whirling

I remember her whispering yet.

But evidently she don't

Evidently she won't

She just acts like we never have met.

If I didn't have to guess

I'd gladly confess

To anything I might have tried

If I was working too long

Or have done something wrong

Wish she'd say what it is I'll run and hide.

Though her skirt it swayed as the guitar played

Her mouth was watery and wet

But now something has changed

For she ain't the same

She just acts like we never have met.

Mmmm, I'm leaving today

Gotta be on my way

Of this I can't say too much.

But if you want me to

I can be just like you

retend that we never have touched.

And if anybody should ask me

Is it easy to forget?

Why its easily done

You just pick anyone

Pretend that you never have met.
