"Teddy Bear Song" by Barbara Fairchild

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

CHORUS
I wish I was a teddy bear
Not livin or lovin nor goin nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
And Im wishin that I hadnt fallen in love with you

I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
Then your memry wouldnt come around hurtin all the time
Id have a sewed-on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
And I never would have ever had to learn how to cry

CHORUS

I wish I had a string you could pull to make me say
Hi, Im Teddy-aint it a lovely day?
Then Id know every time I spoke the words were right
And none would know the mess I made of my life

CHORUS

And Im wishin that I hadnt fallen in love with you
