Lyrics:
[From November 26 2000 version]

This is called "She Still Thinks I Care."

Just because I asked a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I ring her number by mistake today
She still thinks I 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

If she's maybe thinking I still need her
Don't let that foolish notion bring a tear
How could she ever be so foolish?
How could she get such an idea?

Just because I asked her friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her memory all to pieces
She thinks I still care

If she's happy thinking I still need her
Don't let that silly notion bring a tear
Where'd she get such a foolish notion?
How could she get such an idea?

One year later in 2004, Beck performed it at another benefit concert in Los Angeles.

Then, 9 years later, in May 2013, Beck played an acoustic show. He performed "She Thinks I Still Care" in memory of George Jones, as this was Beck's first show since he had died about 3 weeks earlier.
