I wish I had buttoned eyes and a red felt noseShaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothesSitting on a shelf in a local department storeWith no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry forI wish I was a teddy bearNot living or dying or going nowhereI wish I was a teddy bearAnd I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with youI wish I had a wooden heart and a soft smileThen your memory wouldn't come aroundHurting all the timeI'd have a so-dumb smileAnd a painted twinkle in my eyeAnd I never would have ever had to learn how to cryI wish I was a teddy bearNot living or dying or going nowhereI wish I was a teddy bearNot living or dying or going nowhereI wish I was a teddy bearAnd I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with youI wish I had a string you could pull to make me sayI'm a teddy bearAnd I love itThen I'd know every time I spoke a word to your eyesAnd no one would know the mess I made of my lifeI wish I was a teddy bearNot living or lovingNor going nowhereI wish I was a teddy bearAnd I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with youAnd I'm wishing that I hadn't fallen in love with youYeah!
