I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
|
Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
|
Sittin' 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 nor going nowhere
|
I wish I was a Teddy Bear and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
|
|
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
|
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around to hurt 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...
|
|
I wish I had a string you'd pull to make me stay hi there I'm Teddy it's a lovely day
|
Then I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right
|
And no one would know the mess that I made of my life
|
I wish I was a Teddy Bear...
|
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
|
