Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Now that I've lost everything to you
You said you wanna start something new
And it's breaking my heart, you leaving
Baby, I'm grieving
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
[Verse 2]
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, just like a child, girl
[Verse 3]
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never want to see you sad, girl
Don't be bad, girl
But if you want to leave, take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
[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, just like a child, girl
[Verse 5]
But if you want to leave, take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad and beware
[Verse 6]
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, just like a child, aah aah
[Verse 7]
Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world (Just like a child girl)
I'll always remember you, just like a child
Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by, just upon a smile
