As usual, bring the lyrics to class

Cat Stevens - 'Wild World'

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 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 
and 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 breakin' my heart in two 
Because I never wanna see you 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 

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

grieving - feeling very sad because someone has died

to get by - to be able to live or deal with a situation with difficulty, usually by having just enough of something you need, such as money

beware - be careful, watch out
