George Jones might have well been the patron saint of moving on because of his number one song, ‘She Thinks I Still Care.’ He is also well known for ‘He Stopped Loving Her Today’ which is quite contradicting when it comes to how a person moves on but we are definitely putting a thumbs up on ‘She Thinks I Still Care’ if you have assuming ex-lovers today.
Watch the video below and assume a young and unassuming George Jones in Opry:
[like_button]“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 careJust 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 careBut 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 ideaJust because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to piecesShe thinks I still care
She thinks I still care
George Jones, She thinks I still Care
“I don’t like it too much. It’s got too many damn ‘just becauses’ in it. I don’t think nobody really wants to hear that shit, do you?”
Those are the exact words of George Jones after Allen Jones was so eager to pitch the song to George Jones. Little did he know that the song would make him another number one on the Billboard charts. Thanks to their unwavering persistence, George Jones had released the song in 1962 and it ultimately became a career-record.
“For years after I recorded it, the song was my most requested, and it became what people in my business call a ‘career record,’ the song that firmly establishes your identity with the public.”
