1
I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose
2
A shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
3
Sittin' on a shelf in a local department store
4
With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for
5
[Chorus:]
6
I wish I was a teddy bear
7
Not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere
8
I wish I was a teddy bear
9
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
10
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
11
Then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
12
I'd have a sewed-on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
13
And I never would have ever had to learn how to cry
14
[Chorus]
15
I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
16
"Hi, I'm Teddy - ain't it a lovely day?"
17
Then I'd know every time I spoke the words were right
18
And none would know the mess I made of my life
19
[Chorus]
20
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
