I Don't Believe You
"I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met)" is a 1964 song by Bob Dylan, from his fourth studio album, ANOTHER SIDE OF BOB DYLAN.
Dylan biographer Robert Shelton describes it as being about "the intoxication of a night of love followed by the throbbing headache of his partner's emotional abandonment and detachment." Dylan, introducing it at his Halloween, 1964 performance (released on THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 6: BOB DYLAN LIVE IN 1964, CONCERT AT PHILHARMONIC HALL) said, "This is about all the people that say they've never seen you..."
Other live performances of the song by Dylan have been released on BIOGRAPH (a performance recorded in Belfast on May 6, 1966), THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 4: BOB DYLAN LIVE 1966, THE "ROYAL ALBERT HALL" CONCERT (recorded in Manchester on May 17, 1966); also released on LIVE 1961-2000: THIRTY-NINE YEARS OF GREAT CONCERT PERFORMANCES, THE LAST WALTZ (recorded in San Francisco on November 25, 1976), and THE BOOTLEG SERIES VOL. 13: TROUBLE NO MORE 1979-1981 (Deluxe Edition) (recorded in London on June 27, 1981).
