Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A-baby let me be
Your lovin' teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be)
Your teddy bear
[PreChorus]
I don't wanna be a tiger
'Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind you love enough
[Chorus]
I just wanna be
Your teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be)
Your teddy bear
[Verse 2]
Baby, let me be
Around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair
And cuddle me real tight
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be)
Your teddy bear
[PreChorus]
I don't wanna be a tiger
'Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind you love enough
[Chorus]
Just wanna be
Your teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be)
Your, oh, teddy bear
[Outro]
Oh, let me be (Oh, let him be)
(Your teddy bear) I just wanna be your teddy bear
