You say you want to start something new
 And it's breaking my heart you're leaving
 Baby I'm grieving

 But if you want to 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

 (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 breaking my heart in two
 Because 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 find a lot of nice friends out there
 Just remember there's a lot of bad air
 Beware

 (Chorus)

 You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do
 And it's breaking my heart in two
 Because 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 find a lot of nice friends out there
 Just remember there's a lot of bad air
 Beware

 (Chorus
