Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
Baby, I'm grieving
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 2]
You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
And it's breaking my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
[PreChorus]
But if you wanna 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
Beware
[Chorus]
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, girl
[PreChorus]
Baby, I love you
But if you wanna 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
Beware
[Chorus]
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, girl
[Chorus]
Oh baby, baby, it's a wild world
And 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
