Lyrics

[Chorus]

Wonderful world

Beautiful people

You and your girl

Things could be pretty

But underneath this

There is a secret

That nobody can reveal

[Verse 1]

Take a look at the world

And the state that it's in today

I am sure you'll agree

We all could make it a better way

With our love put together

Everybody learn to love each other

[PreChorus]

Instead of fussing and fighting

Cheating, back-biting

Scandalizing and hating

Baby, baby

We could have a

[Chorus]

Wonderful world

Beautiful people

You and your girl

Things could be pretty

But underneath this

There is a secret

That nobody can reveal

See!

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]

Man and woman

Girl and boy

Let us try to give a helping hand

This I know

And I'm sure

That with love we all could understand

This is our world

Can't you see?

Everybody wants to live and be free

[PreChorus]

Instead of fussing and fighting

Cheating, back-biting

Scandalizing and hating

Baby

Baby

Baby

[Bridge]

Things could be pretty

But underneath this

There is a secret

That nobody can reveal

Oh

Talking 'bout a

[Chorus]

Wonderful world

Beautiful people

You and your girl

Things could be pretty

Wonderful world

Beautiful people

Wonderful world

Beautiful people

Wonderful world

Beautiful people

Wonderful world

Beautiful people
