       "She Thinks I Still Care" is a country song written by Dickey Lee and Steve Duffy. The song was recorded by multiple artists, including George Jones, Connie Francis, Anne Murray, Elvis Presley and Patty Loveless.

Just because I ask a friend about him

Just because I spoke his name somewhere

Just because I rang his number by mistake today

He thinks I still care

 

Just because I haunt the same old places

Where the mem'ry of him lingers everywhere

Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be

He thinks I still care

 

And if he's happy thinking I still need him

Then let that silly notion bring him cheer

But how could he ever be so foolish?

Or where would he get such an idea?

 

Just because I ask a friend about him

Just because I spoke his name somewhere

Just because I saw him, then went all to pieces

He thinks I still care

 

Yes, he thinks I still care.
