[Verse 1]
WChen the TV won't work aG#7nd your toys fall apart
CAnd you have a sad feeling G#7deep in your heart
CYou wanna go out but it's G#7raining out there
FI want you to G7know I Ccare
[Chorus]
I care I do there's G7no one like you
CWhen they take you some place and you G#7sit in a chair
FI want you to G7know I Ccare
[Verse 2]
When you tell a big lie G#7and your parents are mean
CWhen being grownup G#7is a faraway dream
CWhen you're filling your teeth G#7and cutting your hair
FI want you to G7know I Ccare
[Chorus]
I care I do there's G7no one like you
CI mention your name when G#7I'm saying my prayers
FI want you to G7know I Ccare
[Verse 3]
When you have a bad cold G#7and you can't go out
CWhen you sit for a week G#7with that thing in your mouth
CWhen you sleep in the dark G#7and there's something out there
FI want you to G7know I Ccare
[Chorus]
I care I do there's G7no one like you
CAnd sometimes I act like a G#7grouchy old bear
FI want you to G7know I Ccare
I love you too much
