Teddy Bear Song

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
