Teddy Bear Song Lyrics - Singles - Barbara Fairchild

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 nothin' to be sorry for 

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 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 have 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 

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 no 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
