Listen to the song and complete the lyrics

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it's breaking my heart you're
Baby, I'm grieving
 But if you want to leave, take good care
Hope you have 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 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 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 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 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 want to leave take good care
Hope you make 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 just upon a smile
Oh baby baby it's a wild world
And I'll always remember you like a child, girl [x2]
