(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear / Don't Be Cruel (Live at Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NC - April 14, 1972) 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 me be)
Your teddy bear

Oh, I don't wanna be your tiger
'Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be your lion
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 me be)
Your Teddy Bear
Oh let me be (oh let me be)
Your Teddy Bear

You know I can be found sittin' home all alone
If you can't come around at least please telephone
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well, baby if I made you mad for somethin' that I might have said
Please just forget the past, the future looks bright ahead
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Well, I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinkin' of

Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Don't be cruel to a heart that's true
Oh, I don't want no other love
Baby it's just you I'm thinkin' of, ho

"Thank you, you're a fantastic audience and we haven't even got into the show yet, man
This is a song that I did on the Ed Sullivan show
Okay, I'll be around, just, just hang loose baby I'll be over there
I did this song on the Ed Sullivan show and they filmed me from the waist up, you know
An' I was a little weird kid, had little weird side-burns and guitar and so forth, ya know
Still doin' the same thing, no different"
