Lyrics

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

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

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

Oh b aby 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

I don’t wanna be a tiger

Cause tigers play too rough

I don’t wanna be a lion

Cause lions aren’t the kind

You love enou-ou-ou-ough

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

Oh let me be (oh let him be)

(Your teddy bear)

I just wanna

Be your Teddy Bear (ooh)
