Written by Dickey Lee

(As performed by George Jones)



Just because I ask a friend about her

Just because I spoke her name somewhere

Just because I rang her number by mistake today

She thinks I still care



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

Oh where would she get such an idea



Just because I ask a friend about her

And 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
