A                                       D 
I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose 
E                                      A 
shaggy cotton skin and just one set of clothes 
                                         D 
sittin' on a shelf in a local department store 
     E                                          A 
with no dreams to dream and nothing to be sorry for

I wish I was a teddy bear 
              E                  A 
not livin' or lovin' nor going nowhere

I wish I was a teddy bear 
        A                     E              A 
and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you 
I wish I had a wooden heart and a sawdust mind 
then your memory wouldn't come around hurtin' 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 livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere 
I wish I was a teddy bear 
and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you

I wish I had a string you could 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 of my life 
 
I wish I was a teddy bear 
not livin' or lovin' nor goin' nowhere 
I wish I was a teddy bear 
and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you 
and I'm wishin' that I hadn't fallen in love with you
