She Thinks I Still Care

Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I called her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care.
And just because I haunt the same old places
Where the mem'ry of her lingers ev'rywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care.
But if she's happy thinkin' I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Tell me where would she get such an idea.
Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care.
She thinks I still care...
