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 t' know

Why she did go,

But I can't get close to 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 to think on,

That she's the same one

That last night I was with

From darkness, dreams are deserted,

Am I still dreamin' yet?

I wish she'd unlock

Her voice once and 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 to my face?

Without any doubt,

She seems too far out

For me to return to her chase

Though the night ran swirling and whirling,

I remember her whispering yet

But evidently she don't

And 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'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 and hide

Though the night ran swirling and whirling,

I remember her whispering yet

But evidently she don't

And evidently she won't,

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

And if anybody asks me, "Is it easy to forget?"

I'll say, "It's easily done,

You just pick anyone,

And pretend that you never have met!"
