这首歌是二十世纪七十年代英国歌手民谣摇滚Cat Stevens的代表作之一，出自1970年发行的录音室专辑Tea for the Tillerman，后来也被许多歌手翻唱过。身边的朋友可能对王若琳的翻唱版本比较熟悉吧。
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
Ooh,baby,baby,it`s a wild world
It`s hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh,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 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
Ooh,baby,baby,it`s a wild world
It`s hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh,baby,baby,it`s a wild world
I`ll always remember you like a child,girl
Baby,I love you But if you wanna leave,take good care
I hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
But just remember there`s a lot of bad and beware
Ooh,baby,baby,it`s a wild world
It`s hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh,baby,baby,it`s a wild world
I`ll always remember you like a child,girl
Ooh,baby,baby,it`s a wild world
It`s hard to get by just upon a smile
Ooh,baby,baby,it`s a wild world
And I`ll always remember you like a child,girl
