I Wish I Was A Teddybear Lyrics

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 (Chorus) 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 pretty twinkle in my eye And I never would have ever had to learn how to cry (Repeat Chorus) I wish I had a string to 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 one would know the mess I've made of my life (Repeat Chorus) And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
