I can't understand she let go off my hand
An' left me here facin' the wall
I'd sure like to know why she did go
But i can't get close to her at all
Though we kissed thru the wild blazin' nighttime
She said she would never forget
But now it is clear, it's like i ain't here
She acts like we never have met.

It's all new to me like some mystery
It could even be like a myth
But 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 an' talk
'Stead of actin' 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
An' her skirt is swayed as the guitar played
Her mouth was watery an' wet
But now somethin' 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 anythin' i might have tried
If i was with her too long or have did somethin wrong
I'd wish she'd tell me what it is, i'll run an' hide
Tho the night ran swirlin' an' whirlin'
I remember her whisperin' 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
An' pretend that we never have touched
An' if anybody asks me 
"Is it easy to forget?"
I'll say "It's easily done, just pick anyone
An' pretend that you never have met"..
