Shaggy cotton skin and just
Sittin' on a shelf in a local
and nothin' to be sorry for
I wish I was a teddy bear
Not livin' or lovin' or goin' nowhere
hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I had a wooden heart
Then your memory wouldn't
I'd have a sewed on smile
and a painted twinkle in my eye
And I never would have ever had
I wish I was a teddy bear
Not living or loving or going nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't
I wish I had a string you could pull
Hi, I'm Teddy, ain't it a lovely day
Then I'd know every time I spoke,
the mess I've made of my life
I wish I was a teddy bear
Not livin' or lovin' or goin' away
I wish I was a teddy bear
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't
fallen in love with you you
