I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met) (Live at Philharmonic Hall, New York, NY - October 1964)

[Verse 1]

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'd 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

[Verse 2]

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 and talk

'Stead of actin' like we never have met

[Verse 3]

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 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

[Verse 4]

If I didn't have to guess, I'd gladly confess

To anything I might've 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 her skirt had swayed as a 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

[Harmonica Solo]

[Verse 5]

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"
