She thinks I still care Just because I asked 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 memory of her lingers everywhere Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be She thinks I still care But if she's happy thinking I still need her Then let that silly notion bring her cheer But how could she ever be so foolish Oh were would she get such an idea Just because I asked 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
