I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes sittin' 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 livin' or lovin' nor going 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 memory 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' 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 *Key Change - * 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 everytime I spoke the words were right and no one would know the mess I made of my life 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 and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
