Tom T. Hall – I Care lyrics
[Verse 1:]
When the TV won’t work and your toys fall apart
And you have a sad feeling deep in your heart
You wanna go out but it’s rainin’ out there
I want you to know, I care
[Chorus:]
I care, I do, there’s no one like you
When they take you some place
And you sit in a chair
I want you to know, I care
[Verse 2:]
When you tell a big lie and your parents are mean
When being grownup is a faraway dream
When you’re fillin’ your teeth and cuttin’ your hair
I want you to know, I care
[Chorus]
I care, I do, there’s no one like you
I mention your name
When I’m sayin’ my prayers
I want you to know, I care
[Verse 3:]
When you have a bad cold and you can’t go out
When you sit for a week with that thing in your mouth
When you sleep in the dark and there’s something out there
I want you to know, I care
[Chorus:]
I care, I do, there’s no one like you
And sometimes I act
Like a grouchy old bear
I want you to know, I care
[Outro:]
I love you too much
GENIUS
