Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes
Sittin' on the shelf in the local department store
With no dreams to dream and nothin' to be sorry for.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Nor living, nor loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I wish that I never had fallen in love with you.
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around to hurt all the time
With a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
Then I never would've ever had to learn how to cry.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Nor living, nor loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I wish that I never had fallen in love with you.
I wish I had a string you could pull that would make me say
What you wanna hear from me to make you stay
Then I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right
And no one would know what a mess I've made in my life.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Nor living, nor loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I wish that I never had fallen in love with you.
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Nor living, nor loving, nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I wish that I never had fallen in love with you...
