Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Isn't it great to have him back?
[Verse 2]
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart, you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grieving
[Verse 3]
But if you want to 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
Yeah
[Verse 4]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
[Verse 5]
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you feel sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
[Verse 6]
But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Yeah
[Verse 7]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
And I'll always remember you like a child
[Verse 8]
Baby, I love you
But if you want to leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
Yeah
[Verse 9]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
(It's hard)
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
And I'll always remember you like a child
[Verse 10]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
(Oh, baby, wild, world)
It's hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
And I'll always remember you like a child, girl
[Verse 11]
Chris Cornell, yay
