I can't understand,
She let go of my hand
An' left me here facing the wall
I'd sure like t' know
Why she did go,
But I can't get close t' her at all
Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime,
She said she would never forget
But now morning's clear,
It's like I ain`t here,
She just acts like we never have met
It's all new t' me,
Like some mystery,
It could even be like a myth
Yet it's hard t' think on,
That she's the same one
That last night I was with
From darkness, dreams're deserted,
Am I still dreamin' yet?
I wish she'd unlock
Her voice once an' talk,
'stead of acting like we never have met
If she ain`t feelin' well,
Then why don't she tell
'stead of turnin' her back t' my face?
Without any doubt,
She seems too far out
For me t' return t' her chase
Though the night ran swirling an' whirling,
I remember her whispering yet
But evidently she don't
An' evidently she won't,
She just acts like we never have met
If I didn't have t' guess,
I'd gladly confess
T' anything I might've tried
If I was with 'er too long
Or have done something wrong,
I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run an' hide
Though her skirt it swayed as a 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
I'm leavin' today,
I'll be on my way
Of this I can't say very much
But if you want me to,
I can be just like you
An' pretend that we never have touched
An' if anybody asks me, "is it easy to forget? "
I'll say, "it's easily done,
You just pick anyone,
An' pretend that you never have met!"
