Hard to live this way, I'm moving on
Do you strive to be the man I'll never be?
Baby, I'm a fool and shouldn't go
But this yearning to be gone won't let me be
I never could stay any place too long
Guess somewhere there's still that little boy in me
Sometimes I wish that I could catch the past
Touch the only friend there'll ever be
Hello teddy bear, let's go sliding down the stairs
Your shaggy haired and tiny buttoned eyes
Hello teddy bear, you and I went everywhere
But the years have turned by boyish laughs to sighs
I guess somehow I have always known
There'd never be a place for a man like me
And many times I've wondered through the years
If that teddy bear had known how it would be
Hello teddy bear, let's go sliding down the stairs
Your shaggy haired and old tattered ears
Hello teddy bear, you and I went everywhere
But like my dreams I've lost you to the years
Hello teddy bear, you and I went everywhere
But like my dreams I've lost you to the years
Like my dreams I've lost you to the years
Like my dreams I've lost you to the years
Like my dreams I've lost you to the years
Do you strive to be the man I'll never be?
Baby, I'm a fool and shouldn't go
But this yearning to be gone won't let me be
I never could stay any place too long
Guess somewhere there's still that little boy in me
Sometimes I wish that I could catch the past
Touch the only friend there'll ever be
Hello teddy bear, let's go sliding down the stairs
Your shaggy haired and tiny buttoned eyes
Hello teddy bear, you and I went everywhere
But the years have turned by boyish laughs to sighs
I guess somehow I have always known
There'd never be a place for a man like me
And many times I've wondered through the years
If that teddy bear had known how it would be
Hello teddy bear, let's go sliding down the stairs
Your shaggy haired and old tattered ears
Hello teddy bear, you and I went everywhere
But like my dreams I've lost you to the years
Hello teddy bear, you and I went everywhere
But like my dreams I've lost you to the years
Like my dreams I've lost you to the years
Like my dreams I've lost you to the years
Like my dreams I've lost you to the years
