Teddy Bear Song

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I wish I had button eyes and red felt nose A shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for [Chorus] I wish I was a teddy bear Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere I wish I was a teddy bear And I'm wishin' I hadn't fallen in love with you [Verse 2] I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind Then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry [Chorus] I wish I was a teddy bear Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere I wish I was a teddy bear And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you [Verse 3] I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say "Hi, I'm Teddy, ain't it a lovely day?" Then I'd know every time I spoke the words were right And no one would know the mess I made in my life [Chorus] I wish I was a teddy bear Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere I wish I was a teddy bear And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you [Outro] And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
