Teddy Bear Song

(앨범: Yours Truly - 1973)

I wish I had button eyes and red fat nose
A 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 nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishing 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 to hurt 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 nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishing 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 that a lovely day
Then I'd know everytime I've 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 nor going nowhere
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I'm wishing I hadn't fallen in love with you
And I'm wishing I hadn't fallen in love with you
