Russell, Leon - She Thinks I Still Care Lyrics






Just because I asked a friend about her,
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I dialed 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 care

  1. D.... T....

    Glorious!

  3. R.... G....

    For all my friends, especially Lonnie Rowell and Rezzie Flanders

  4. L.... S....

    Would've loved to have heard a duet of this tune with Elvis and/or Roy Orbison. That would've been mind blowing.

  5. D.... B....

    FRI Pete Drake and Welden Myrock

  6. G.... G....

    Thank you, Leon.

  9. G.... G....

  10. E.... J....

    It makes me feel so good when I read such wonderful comment about Leon. My older brother turned me on to him. I never got to see him in concert. Oh how I wanted to though. I didn't feel he got the recognition he truly deserved. He should have been nominated into the hall of fame. Way before Elton John recommended and reminded others. I'm thankful it happened before he died. He totally deserved it. Thank you Leon your music lives on in my heart. You were a magnificent song writer and artist.

    A.... M....

    Not on this cut, lt was Pete Drake and Weldon Myric on sreel guitar on this. Who cares it's all great

  48. J.... T....

    This is the best version of this song ever... including George Jones's. The whole album ROCKS!!

    J.... T....

    @Pappy Reeves I hate to tell you but you need one now, I don't think you can hear it thunder. 

    J.... T....

    Vince Gill does it even better than this

    J.... T....

    To me John Fogerty's version is the best.

    J.... T....

    Still have that album and many of his others. I have been a fan since jr. hi school. A great all round musician. He could do it all.

    J.... T....

    You are correct sir.

  49. r.... ....

    I had this on an eight track tape. A true treasure of an album

  50. B.... P....

    B.... B....

    So do I...

  54. H.... S....

    played in every beach boys tune.

    H.... S....

    Seen him in atlanta stadium 1973 wish he had played some hank wilson great albums

  55. C.... K....

    had this vinyl
    ..

    C.... K....

    Still have it and listen to it frequently.  Stop by some afternoon, we'll spark one up and listen to some Leon...

  56. K.... M....

    Love the Hank Wilson persona! Saw Leon Russell with Willie Nelson in the early '70s in Mobile. What a great concert it was! Such a soulful voice.

  57. T.... O....

    I love this album!  I have it but have not listened to it in ages.  Being a Tulsa boy I have seen Leon many times and enjoyed his show every time, I can remember that is.

    T.... O....

    +Jim Long -- did he, or did he not, appear on The Uncanny Film Festival?

    T.... O....

    +sittinginthebasement Yes he did. He had a ski mask on and was playing the piano. Then he took it off and started playing. Leon was such a fan of the show he named his first son Teddy Jack after Gary Busey's character on the show Teddy Jack Eddie. http://tulsatvmemories.com/mazeppa2.html

    T.... O....

    +Jim Long--thanks! I still call GB "Teddy Jack" to this day. Another question, in the same vein. I swear to God I saw Johnny Tillotson (pop/country singer in the '60's) perform on the show one night, but no one else seems to remember that. Are my friends correct--am I crazy?

  58. C.... L....

    Great story!

  59. C.... L....

    Great story!

  60. C.... L....

    Great story!

  61. R.... S....

    So great to listen to this again! much thanks to Ytube and whoever posted!

  62. h.... ....

    Just Brilliant!

  63. x.... ....

    RIP George

  64. G.... G....

    This holds sooooo many memories for me. Bought this on a Sat aft and played it all day! Took it to my folks house that night cause they were having a shindig. Flip this LP on the turntable and my dad, aunts and uncles went nuts. Jumped and jived all night. Didn't have the heart to tell them it was really Leon and the kicker is. My dad's name was Harry but all his friends called him Hank! I will never forget that Sat night howdown. God bless you Leon.

  65. A.... M....

    Awesome Stuff!!!

    My dream would be to go there in the 70s & see Leon, JJ Cale, Gram & the Burritos, The later Byrds, Jess Ed Davis!!! Amazing stuff!!!

  66. M.... M....

    Right-on....

  67. L.... ....

    I have it too since long ago. Handles with care.

  68. K.... T....

    Now, you are one of the lucky ones.

  69. K.... T....

    I've never heard of a comment about Leon Russell and John Prine. Wouldn't that be fun?

  70. J.... E....

    A guy I met here in Texas, Tony Booth, has some cool stories about hanging out with Leon and Jerry Lee at the Palomino.

  71. J.... E....

    Got to the "Promised Land" the day after Thanksgiving, 1973. Middle of the afternoon and I walked into the Palomino. When my eyes adjusted to the lighting I realized that was Leon sitting across the bar drinking a beer.

    J.... E....

    Greatest. Loved him the first time I heard him. I was fortunate enough to see him live. RIP Leon you'll never be forgotten.

  72. f.... ....

    I bought the lp back then still have it.

  73. M.... M....

    This album is worth money! keep it safe.

  74. r.... h....

    butt what?

  75. a.... ....

    Leon and country, he could have had a great career in country.

  76. J.... C....

    This was one of my favorite albums back in high school. Thanks for posting.

  77. B.... Z....

    that's a great comment. thank you. i've got a question. do you think one of the attractions of C&W is the contrast between lyrics that are often about life's high crimes (Louvin Brothers come to mind: Knoxville Girl) and misdemeanors, while the music is uplifting, usually in a major key, and the instruments often sound bright (Nashville tuning helps that, as well as the wonderful steel guitar, one of my all-time favorite instruments, along with wah-wah guitar, but that's R&B)? OK, thanks again.

  78. T.... ....

    God bless Brother Leon! This would be a definitive version except for other definitive versions by George Jones and James Taylor...maybe that's a good definition of a great song: Whoever does it makes it sound like it's theirs (All My Tears comes to mind).

    Last saw him over 40 years ago, he played cuts from Asylum Choir before it was released and almost caused a riot (people up and dancing in a non-dancing venue). Good times. Almost wish I hadn't been so loaded....nah.

  79. j.... ....

    J.J. Cale's all over this LP.

  80. E.... S....

    @kingfucter He put out 2 albums as Hank Wilson, and has recorded many a country tune with Willie Nelson. He can do country as proud as he does rock!

  81. K.... ....

    @judecreek2 I like my share of country music, does leon sing a lot of it or...?

  82. s.... ....

    SOunds like the old master Pete Drake playing the steel with his bag of tricks

  83. c.... ....

    what a voice. what a band backing him up. he could hit home runs left and right.

  84. b.... ....

    Man, I *LOVED* this LP. Haven't heard it in years. Thanks.

  85. B.... D....

    thanks.

  86. p.... ....

    Not a bad song on this album.

  87. c.... ....

    All Hail King Leon!!!

  88. a.... ....

    This album has carried me through 3 decades.

  89. K.... ....

    One thing I love about these recordings, is the steel player! What a tremendous job! Wonder who the steel man was on these? Leon has a catchy voice that has really grown on me across the years. I love listening to these Hank songs! Thanks

    K.... ....

    There were 2 steel players on this. Weldon Myrock and Pete Drake. Good stuff

  90. i.... ....

    Carney is my fav of all time... Seen Leon a few times... I think? LOL Actually I remember him well in the late 70's, early 80's..... Still love Leon my ,Oklahoma home boy!

  91. a.... ....

    saw leon a buncha times. one time in iowa he was driving the tour bus. this is my favorite album. carney rates right up there too. steel guitar in this song is great. leon w/the new grass revival was a good show too,,,iowa city around '80.

  92. j.... j....

    love this version and this song. I put it right close to George Jones and He stopped loving her today as the greatest country song of all time!

  93. j.... j....

    LOVE me some Leon. But went to see him at a casino a year or so back in St Louis. was disappointed. Did a lot of cover crap and very little of Hank Wiilson , Carney or the old stuff

  94. b.... ....

    CONGRATS ON BEING INDUCTED IN TO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME!

  95. B.... V....

    I just saw him last week from row 6 center. Incredible!! StandingOs. People crying.

    I have the album. A great band just playing their hearts out. They just ripped up!

    My favorite artist of all time.

  96. s.... ....
