There’s a tear in my bear and it’s giving me a scare
When will I sleep safely
Over these teddy bears, I have seen a million tears
When will I sleep safely

I’m gonna keep crying, until my bear’s repaired
And then maybe these tears will cease I swear
There’s a tear in my bear and it’s giving me a scare
When will I sleep safely

Last night I tossed and turned and I start to yearn
When will I sleep safely
It seems my bedtime’s changed and I’m so rearranged
When will I sleep safely

I’m gonna keep crying till I am wide awake
And then maybe my dreams won’t die and break
There’s a tear in my bear and it’s giving me a scare
When will I sleep safely

Dad, I’ve tried and I’ve tried but the tear, I can’t hide
When will I sleep safely
All these bears that I’ve broke I’ve learned it ain’t no joke
When will I sleep safely

I’m gonna keep crying and I have lost my head
Yes perhaps one night I’ll exit my bed
There’s a tear in my bear and it’s giving me a scare
When will I sleep safely
