Lyrics
I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose.
Shaggy cotton skin
And just one set of clothes.
Sitting on a shelf in a local department store.
With no dreams to dream and nothing 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 wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
Wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust smile.
Then your memory wouldnt come around hurting all the time.
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye.
And I never would have 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 wishing 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, isnt it a lovely day."
Then I know every time I spoke the words were right.
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 wishing I hadn't fallen in love with you.
And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you.
