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!"
