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 livin` nor lovin` 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 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 livin` nor lovin` or goin` 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 everytime 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 livin` nor lovin` or goin` nowhere...
I`m wishin` I hadn`t fallen in love with you
