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 mornin´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!”
