Just because I asked a friend about her just because I spoke her name somewhere Just before I rang her number by mistake today she thinks I still care Just because I haunt the same old places Where the mem'ry 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 where would she get such an idea Just because I asked a friend about her Just because I spoke her name somewhere Just bacause I saw her then went all to pieces she thinks I still care ********** (How do you measure a loneliness Is it by the kind of teardrops the beats of your heart The breath taking that makes one day Or the tick of the clock that mark a long long night it's even more much more)
