Now that I’ve lost everything to you You say you wanna start something new And it’s breaking my heart you’re leaving Baby I’m griev-ing 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

You know I’ve seen a lot of what the world can do And it’s breaking my heart in two But 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 there’s a lot of bad and 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 I’ll always remember you like a child girl
