I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)

I can't understand,

She let go of my hand

And left me here facing 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 through the wild, blazing nighttime,

She said she would never forget,

But now morning is clear,

It's like I ain't here,

She acts like we never 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 dreaming yet?

I wish she'd unlock

Her voice once and talk

'Steada acting like we never met.

If she ain't feeling well,

Then why don't she tell

'Steada turning her back to my face?

Without any doubt

She seems too far out

For me to return to or chase.

And her¹ 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 mighta tried.

If I was with her too long

Or have done something wrong,

I'd 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 leaving 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."

¹ Dylan sort of slurs his speech right here by accident. It sounds like he begins the word with a "w" and is actually thinking of a different word; however, he seems to get back on track halfway through and I am reasonably confident that the word "her" was intended here.
