the teddy bear song

well

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 nothin' to be sorry for

i wish i was a teddy bear

nor living

nor loving

nor going nowhere

i wish i was a teddy bear

and i wish that i never had 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

with a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye

then i never would've ever had to learn how to cry

i wish i was a teddy bear

nor living

nor loving

nor going nowhere

i wish i was a teddy bear

and i wish that i never had fallen in love with you

i wish i had a string you could pull that would make me say

what you wanna hear from me to make you stay

then i'd know every time i spoke the words were right

and no one would know what a mess i've made in my life

i wish i was a teddy bear

nor living

nor loving

nor going nowhere

i wish i was a teddy bear

and i wish that i never had fallen in love with you

i wish i was a teddy bear

nor living

nor loving

nor going nowhere

i wish i was a teddy bear

and i wish that i never had fallen in love with you.
