Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 grievin'
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you find 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, girl
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
[Verse 3]
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 sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice things out there
But just remember there's a lot of bad
Everywhere
[Verse 4]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile, girl
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
'Cause I never wanna see you sad, girl
Don't be a bad girl
But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you find a lot of nice things to wear
But then a lot of nice things turn bad
Out there
[Verse 6]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile, girl
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
[Verse 7]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile, girl
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
I'll always remember you like a child, girl
[Verse 8]
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
It's hard to get by just upon a smile, girl
