My baby’s gone and left me for another
And I’ve never been so sad and blue
My baby’s left me here to sit and wonder
Why she won’t be true
I saw her last Friday evening
She said that I had been replaced
Somebody with more to offer
Had taken my rightful place
He's got big brown eyes, curly hair, she says he listens well
Doesn't cuss, doesn't scratch, he hardly even smells
I've tried to hide my head in sand but it is plain to see
She loves her teddy more than she loves me
Forgive me if I am jealous
If I oil my gun and whet my Bowie knife
I swear to God I’ve never been indecent
But he’s been sleeping with her all of her life
He's got big brown eyes, curly hair, doesn't smoke or drink
Doesn't cuss, doesn't scratch, he don't tell her what to think
I've tried to hide my head in sand but it is plain to see
She loves her teddy more than she loves me
I’ve been trying to comprehend my failings
Understand the error of my ways
It’s hard to win when you’re competing
With a bear who’s got a head start in the race
He's got big brown eyes, curly hair, doesn't kiss and tell
Doesn't cuss, doesn't scratch, he hardly even smells
I've tried to hide my head in sand but it is plain to see
She loves her teddy more than she loves me
