LYRICS

Oh, baby, let me be your lovin' teddy bear

Put a chain around my neck, and lead me anywhere

Oh, let me be

Your teddy bear

I don't want to be your tiger

'Cause tigers play too rough

I don't want to be your lion

'Cause lions ain't the kind you love enough

I just want to be your teddy bear

Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere

Oh, let me be

Your teddy bear

Baby, let me be around you every night

Run your fingers through my hair

And cuddle me real tight

Oh, let me be

Your teddy bear

I don't want to be your tiger

'Cause tigers play too rough

I don't want to be your lion

'Cause lions ain't the kind you love enough

Just want to be your teddy bear

Put a chain around my neck and lead me anywhere

Oh, let me be your teddy bear

Oh, let me be your teddy bear

I just want to be your teddy bear
