Lyrics

I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes Sitting on the shelf In the local department store With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for I wish I was a Teddy Bear Not living Nor loving or goin' nowhere I wish I was a Teddy Bear And I'm wishin' I hadn't fallen in love with you I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust smile Then your memory wouldn't come around hurting 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 I wish I was a Teddy Bear Not living Nor loving or going nowhere... I wish I had a string You'd 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 I wish I was a Teddy Bear Not living Nor loving or going nowhere... I'm wishing I hadn't fallen in love with you
