Wild World Lyrics

From the album ³Bump Ahead² - 1993 Atlantic
Written by Cat Stevens

Now that I¹ve lost everything to you,
you say you want to start something new,
and it¹s breaking my heart you¹re leaving, 
baby I¹m grieving.
But if you wanna leave take good care,
hope you have a lot of nice things to wear,
but then a lot of nice things turn bad out there.
Oh baby baby it¹s a wild world, 
it¹s hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it¹s a wild world,
I¹ll always remember you like a child, girl.
You know I¹ve seen a lot of what the world can do,
and it¹s breaking my heart in two, 
Œcause I never want to see you sad girl,
don¹t be a bad girl, 
but if you want to leave take good care,
hope you make a lot of nice friends out there, 
but just remember there¹s a lot of bad and beware, beware,
Oh baby baby it¹s a wild world, 
it¹s hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it¹s a wild world,
and I¹ll always remember you like a child, girl.
Baby I love you, but if wanna leave take good care,
hope you make a lot of nice friends out there,
but just remember there¹s a lot of bad, and beware, beware,
oh baby baby it¹s a wild world,
it¹s hard to get by just upon a smile.
Oh baby baby it¹s a wild world, 
and I¹ll always remember you like a child, girl.
