you say you want to start something new,
and it's breaking my heart you're leaving, baby I'm grieving.
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.

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 breaking my heart in two,
cause I never want to see you sad girl, don't be a bad girl,
but if you want to leave take good care,
hope you make a lot of nice friends out there,
but just remember that there's a lot of bad and beware, beware,

Oh baby baby it's a wild world,
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl.
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 that there's a lot of bad and beware, beware,
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
