Now that I've lost ev'rything to you
you say you want to start something new
and it's breakin' my heart you're leaving
baby, I'm grievin'

But if you wanna leave, take good care
I 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

You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
and it's breakin' my heart in two
because I never want to see you sad girl
don't be bad girl

Chorus

Baby, I love you
but if you wanna leave, take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
but just remember there's a lot of bad and beware

Chorus
