I can't understand,
C
G7
She let go of my hand
C
G7
C Csus4 C
And left me here facing the wall.
C
G7
I'd sure like to know
C
G7
Why she did go,
C
G7

But I can't get close to her at all.

Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime,

She said she would never forget.
C
G7
But now mornin's clear,
C
G7
It's like I ain't here,
C
G7 C
She just acts like we never met.
It's all new to 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 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 or chase.
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.
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
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
And 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!"

She just acts like we never have met.
Yeah, it's all new to me,
Like some mystery,
It could even be like a myth.
Well it's hard to think on,
That she's the same one
That last night I was with.
Yes I go from darkness, dreams are deserted,
Am I still dreamin' yet?

For she ain't the same,
