Teddy Bear Song — текст песни (Barbara Fairchild)

I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose
A 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

CHORUS
I wish I was a teddy bear
Not livin` or lovin` nor goin` 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 have ever had to learn how to cry

CHORUS

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 every time I spoke the words were right
And none would know the mess I made of my life

CHORUS

And I`m wishin` that I hadn`t fallen in love with you
