The Teddy Bear Song Lyrics

The Teddy Bear Song (I think I hear Emmylou Harris on harmony)
CAPO I
INTRO: C
Well I wish I had button eyes and a red felt nose
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
No livin' nor lovin' nor goin' nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
And I wish that I never had 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
With a sowed on smile and a painted twinkle in my eyes
Then I never would've ever had to learn how to cry
(KEY CHANGE)
I wish I had a string you could pull that would make me say
What you wanna hear from me to make you stay
And I'd know every time I spoke the words were right
And no one would know what a mess I've made of my life
CHORUS:
I wish I was a teddy bear
No livin' nor lovin' nor goin' nowhere
I wish I was a teddy bear
And I wish that I never had fallen in love with you
(repeat CHORUS and fade)
