I Don’t Believe You – The Band (She Acts Like We Never Have Met) (feat. Bob Dylan) (from “The Last Waltz” soundtrack)

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 dreamin’ yet? I wish she’d unlock her voice once and talk ‘Stead of acting 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
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
If I didn’t have to guess, I’d gladly confess To anything I might have tried If I was with her too long or I’ve 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, 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 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”
