Wild World Lyrics

Artist: Cat Stevens
Album: Wild World

Now that I've lost everything to you,
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 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.

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, 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.

by Gianluca on 6/5/2008 11:56am Thought about it in a hong kong hotel room, got the words here and softly sang. This was just so good.
by Jorge Leon on 6/18/2008 11:14pm Soy latino... pero desde que tenia 13 años recuerdo esta maravillosa música, hoy tengo 50 años y son muchos los recuerdos que acompañan esta musica. Cat es una persona de gran corazon; como dice nuestrio amigo Ahmed Raafat Sadek es un gran hombre con una exelente musica. Me agradaría conocerlo algun día. Jorge e-mail: jorleon@etb.net.co
by estaban on 7/12/2008 11:44am I think it would sound excellent with a reggae beat. I love this song...so full of wisdom and simply stated. Not preaching but realizing the cycle continues into infinity. Birth, innocence, life tainted, mistakes made, jadedness, the world. One love.
by Jermyn Torres on 7/16/2008 10:47pm Soon my baby girl Amanda will be leaving the nest, she is spreading wings to University. This song "Wild World" just describes my feelings at the moment.

by Jim Walker on 8/23/2008 2:17pm Man, this brings back the memories in the early 70s, on my way to San Antonio, going to radio broadcasting school. What a thrill it was to play this song, many times on the radio. This is indeed, a Wild World.....
by Alma on 9/12/2008 6:18pm great song!.. brings back alot of memories!
by Svetla on 10/2/2008 6:34pm This is a really beautiful song. Actually, the words are very simple and that's why they touch the heart of almost everybody.And this is a real talent to say about simple things and feelings in such a beautiful way. Thank you, Youssef.

by Helena on 12/28/2008 1:09pm I'm wondering what you guys would say if Cat Stevens wouldn't be a moslem
by Jasmine on 1/13/2009 10:16pm To be a Muslim was his destiny, his path. Yusuf Islam would not be the legend he is if he was not so deeply sincere. Don't try to separate Cat Stevens from Yusuf Islam, and say you love one but dislike the other. He is not a hypocrite, so it is ugly to respond with hypocrisy. He did not sell out and be the person others wanted him to be; he preferred to love God over world. You can tell from his songs and lyrics that he was a good man, searching. Now it is obvious that he found his way home, and is an even better man.
by Happy mother on 1/14/2009 9:48am Great song, wonderfull....
by Imran on 3/4/2009 5:23pm I second Jasmine's words. Simply Beautifull. What a song
by Still Crazy After All These Years on 3/8/2009 9:10am I was young in the time when these songs were popular. They reflected how young people thought at that time. How far we have come from that way of thinking due to being over run by base cultures. How sweet to have these memories of gentler times...
by xD on 4/30/2009 12:34pm oowww baby beware!cause there's wild world.everyone may do false thing to u and may make sad to u...so beware! not lost ur smile ı know smiling is hard in this wild world but try that.ı need ur smiling... I love u :)

by Ana on 9/19/2010 1:22pm Oh what a shame that he betrayed his music for the fairytales of religion - any religion! No this song is NOT by Yusuf Islam. He consciously turned his back on music when he became entrapped in religion. No, this song is by Cat Stevens, who is - alas - no more.

by Goku H. on 2/15/2011 10:13am Eer... I've found this song because of my ex-husband's status with words 'oh baby baby it's a wild world' in russian facebook... When I saw the man, who sings it, I really didn't like him and it seemed to me there's no reason to listen to it, but how I was wrong! This song is f*cking awesome! Don't mind, it's incurable delirium...

by steve k on 2/9/2012 11:44am love cat pray he gets away from the moonshadow;moon god that is and looks to jesus and gets saved truth
by ine on 2/27/2012 1:30pm siempre te recordaré como a la niña de mis ojos, es un mundo salvaje al que decidistes partir, pero en tu corazón yo estaré, no temas yo estaré en él.
by hajar on 3/3/2012 4:55am Allah is NOT moon god, he is the one who created the universe and all creatures , and Mohammad and Jesus and Moses (peace and blessing be upon them) are his slaves, creatures and prophets
by RAS SAMUEL ADAMS ANELKA on 3/3/2012 5:15am I LOVE THIS SONg in fact it wl 4eva b ma favourite. It alwez remind me of ma belove ROSE KUMI FRIMPONG. REST IN PEACE DEAR ROSE. CAT STEVENS I yada u. Jah bless u brethren
by The Nobullman on 3/8/2012 3:58am Great song by a rational musician before he went mad and was screwed up by a vile religion! RIP Cat.
by ToBeHuman on 3/14/2012 11:51am It is sad that so many harp on his personal choice and are surprised that everyone should be happy. Can you all be happy by the song and for the poet who felt such insite. This is what the song is about: rise above the badness to be an honest happy human.

by Effy Stonem on 4/6/2012 2:39am GOSH SKINS <3 BEST SONG EVER. AND BEST GENERATION TOO! ALWAYS :)
by Bbc on 5/14/2012 8:29am Great song this indeed. Like the man(Cat) says "I have seen what the world can do...there is a lot of bad and beware!" So my old man told me and I have prove it.
