"I Care" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Tom T. Hall. It was released in December 1974 as the only single from the album Songs of Fox Hollow.

B-side

The B-side of the single "I Care" was "Sneaky Snake," which charted as a tag-along flip side as a result of airplay.

"Sneaky Snake" is a novelty song about an anthropomorphic snake who likes sneaking up on people and stealing their root beer. After omnisciently observing how Sneaky Snake "goes dancin', wigglin', and a-hissin'/Sneaky Snake goes dancin', gigglin', and a-kissin'," the singer states how he doesn't like him because he laughs, due to moving through the grass and "ticklin' his underneath."

Both songs can be found on Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (1975).
