Just because I asked a friend about her,
Just because I spoke her name somewhere,
Just because I dialled 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.
Oh if she's happy thinkin' I still need her,
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer,
Oh how could she ever be so foolish,
And where 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 caaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaare.

HE THINKS I STILL CARE
as recorded by Connie Francis
1962
Just because I asked 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 memories of him linger everywhere,
Just because I'm not the happy girl I used to be,
He thinks I still care!
But if he's happy thinkin' I still need him,
Then let that silly notion bring him cheer!
Oh, but how could he ever be so foolish?
Tell me, where did he get such an idea?
And just because I asked a friend about him,
Just because I spoke his name somewhere,
Just because I saw him and then went all to pieces,
He thinks I still care,
He thinks I still care!
