Country music legend George Jones had a career that spanned decades. With over 150 hits under his belt, Jones’ status as a musical icon came largely from his ability to harness emotion into all of his art.
“She Thinks I Still Care” is one of Jones’ most renowned songs, released only a few years after the start of his career in 1962. The song was originally written by Dickey Lee and Steve Duffy, and has been recorded by numerous artists over the years including Connie Francis, Patty Loveless, and Elvis Presley.

“She Thinks I Still Care” Lyrics
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 memories 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 ideal
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
