46 An' left me here facing the wall
52 But I can't get close to her at all
54 Though we kissed through the wild blazing nighttime
56 She said she would never forget
58 But now mornin's clear
60 It's like I ain't here
62 She acts like we never met.
66 It could even be like a myth
67 But it's hard to think on
68 That she's the same one
69 That last night I was with
70 From darkness, dreams are deserted
71 Am I still dreamin' yet?
73 Her voice once and talk
74 'Stead of acting like we never met
76 If she ain't feelin' well
77 Then why don't she tell
78 'Stead of turnin' her back to my face
81 For me to return to or chase
82 Though her skirt it swayed as the guitar played
83 Her mouth was watery and wet
84 But now something has changed
85 For she ain't the same
86 She just acts like we never have met.
88 If I didn't have to guess
90 To anything I might've tried
91 If I was with her too long
92 Or have done something wrong
93 I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run and hide
94 Though the night ran swirling and whirling
95 I remember her whispering yet
96 But evidently she don't
98 She just acts like we never have met.
102 Of this I can't say very much
103 But if you want me to
104 I can be just like you
105 And pretend that we never have touched
106 And if anybody asks me:
"Is it easy to forget?
"
107 I say,
"It's easily done
109 And pretend that you never have met.

1964 version
</h2>
116 <p>The main difference from the album version is the long guitar intro,
117 which is once interrupted:
“Oh God! [strumming] Here's the second
118 verse of it
”, and later:
“Does anybody know the first verse of this
121 <p>The other main difference is that the parts of the following verses
124 If she ain't feelin' well
125 Then why don't she tell
126 'Stead of turnin' her back to my face
128 She seems too far out
129 For me to return to or chase
130 Though the night ran swirling and whirling
131 I remember her whispering yet
132 But evidently she don't
133 And evidently she won't
134 She just acts like we never have met.
136 If I didn't have to guess
138 To anything I might've tried
139 If I was with her too long
140 Or have done something wrong
141 I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run and hide
142 Though her skirt it swayed as the guitar played
143 Her mouth was watery and wet
144 But now something has changed
