I can't understand
|
She let go of my hand
|
And left me here facing the wall.
|
|
I'd sure like to know
|
Why did she go, but then
|
I can't get close to her at all.
|
|
Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime
|
She said she'd never forget.
|
|
But now morning is clear
|
Its like I ain't here
|
She acts like we never have met.
|
|
Its all new to me
|
Like some mystery
|
It could even be like a myth.
|
|
Yes its hard to think on
|
That she's the same one
|
That only last night I was with.
|
|
From darkness dreams are deserted
|
Am I still dreaming yet?
|
|
Oh, I wish she'd unlock
|
Her voice once and talk
|
'Stead of acting like we never met.
|
|
If she ain't feeling well
|
Well then why don't she tell
|
'Stead of turning her back to my face.
|
|
Mmm, without any doubt
|
She just seems too far out
|
For me to return to or chase.
|
|
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.
|
|
If I didn't have to guess
|
I'd gladly confess
|
To anything I might have tried
|
|
If I was working too long
|
Or have done something wrong
|
Wish she'd say what it is I'll run and hide.
|
|
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.
|
|
Mmmm, I'm leaving today
|
Gotta be on my way
|
Of this I can't say too much.
|
|
But if you want me to
|
I can be just like you
|
retend that we never have touched.
|
|
And if anybody should ask me
|
Is it easy to forget?
|
|
Why its easily done
|
You just pick anyone
|
Pretend that you never have met.
