I don't think anyone loves me,
they'll talk to me it's true
But do they put their arms around me? No they never do!
They're always very friendly till we get back to my place
We'll share the Emva Cream, but never the embrace.
Nobody hugs a hedgehog
I'm so lonely every night
Nobody hugs a hedgehog
Nobody holds me tight
I get along in conversation, it's the contact
that I lack
No fingers running through my hair, no pats upon the back
No-one wants to hold me, no-one fulfills my need
Everyone wants to be friendly, nobody wants to bleed.
Nobody hugs a hedgehog
It's a tearful little song
Nobody hugs a hedgehog
Not for very long!
It never bothered me before, but you I really
like
My proper name is Reginald, but you can call me Spike
I'm a prickly little person, I wish I could be blunt
I'm a softie at the centre, my back is just a front!
Nobody hugs a hedgehog
I never get a squeeze
Nobody hugs a hedgehog
Won't you do it - please?
