Teddy Bear Song
I wish I had button eyes and red fat noseShaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothesSittin' on the shelf in the local department storeWith no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry forI wish I was a Teddy Bear not living nor loving nor going nowhereI wish I was a Teddy Bear and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with youI wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mindThen your mem'ry wouldn't come around to hurt all the timeI'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eyeAnd I never would've ever had to learn how to cryI wish I was a Teddy BearI wish I had a string you'd pull to make me stay hi there I'm Teddy it's a lovely dayThen I'd know everytime I spoke the words were rightAnd no one would know the mess that I made of my lifeI wish I was a Teddy BearAnd I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you From Letras Mania
