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.
