When the TV won't work and your toys fall apart And you have a sad feeling deep in your heart You want to go out but it's rainin' out there I want you to know I care 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 When you tell a big lie and your parents're 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 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 When you have a bad cough 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 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 I love you too much
