George Jones – She Thinks I Still Care
Anne Murray remade «He Thinks I Still Care» for her 1973 Danny’s Song album and in 1974 this track was issued as the B-side to Murray’s cover version of the Lennon–McCartney-penned «You Won’t See Me». While «You Won’t See Me» was a No. 8 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Billboard Easy Listening Singles chart, «He Thinks I Still Care» was shopped to country radio. In July, just as «You Won’t See Me» peaked in popularity at Top 40 stations, «He Thinks I Still Care» became Murray’s first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.

Anne Murray – He Thinks I Still Care Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the memory of him lingers everywhere
Just because I’m not the happy girl I used to be
He thinks I still care
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
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
[Outro]
Yes, he thinks I still care
GENIUS
