Teddy Bear (Let Me Be Your)
Elvis Presley · Loving You
Your lovinÂ’ teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck,
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.
I donÂ’t wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I donÂ’t wanna be a lion
Â’cause lions ainÂ’t the kind
You love enough.
Just wanna 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
