Wild World

Jimmy Cliff

Now that I've lost ev'rything to you

You said you want to start something new.

And it's breakin' my heart you leaving

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.



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 just like a child girl.



You know I've seen a lot of what the world can do

And it's breakin' my heart in two

Because I never want to see you sad girl

Don't be 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 air 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 just like a child girl.
