[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 have a lot of nice things to wear
|   |    |
But then a lot of nice things turn bad out there

[Bridge]
|      |

[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

[Verse 2]
|   | 
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 a sad, girl
|    |
Don't be a bad girl
|   |
But if you wanna leave, take good care
|   |
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
|   |   |
But just remember there's a lot of bad, and beware

[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

[Bridge]
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Lalalalala....
|  |  |
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 there's a lot of bad, and beware

[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
|  |  |  |  |
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
