And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
Hi, I'm Teddy ain't it a lovely day
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
And I never would've ever had to learn how to cry
With no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for
And I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere
Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere
Then your mem'ry wouldn't come around hurtin' all the time
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
Sittin' on the shelf in the local department store
I wish I was a Teddy Bear
I'd have a sewed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eye
Not livin' nor lovin' or goin' nowhere
And no one would know the mess I made in my life
Then I'd know every time I spoke the words were right
I wish I had a string you'd pull to make me say
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind
