Teddy Bear Song - Barbara Fairchild

Written by：Don Earl/NICK NIXON

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

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

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

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

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
