Lyric The Teddy Bear Song

(Nick Nixon - Don Earl)

I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin on a shelf in a local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothin to be sorry for.

I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living or 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 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.

I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living or 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 string you could pull to make me say
Hi, I m Teddy ain t it a lovely day
Then I d know everytime I spoke the words were right
And no one would know the mess I made of my life.

I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not living or loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I m wishin that I hadn t fallen in love with you.

And I m wishing that I hadn t fallen in love with you...
