Tanya Tucker - Teddy Bear Song lyrics

I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose

Shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes

Sitting on the shelf in the local department store

With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

Not living nor loving or going nowhere

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

And I'm wishing 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 hurting all the time

I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye

And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

Not living nor loving or going nowhere

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a string you'd pull to make me say

"Hi, I'm Teddy, ain't it a lovely day?"

Then I'd know everytime I spoke the words were right

And no one would know the mess I made in my life

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

Not living nor loving or going nowhere

I wish I was a Teddy Bear

And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you

And I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with you
