Cat Stevens 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 want to 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 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 Oh 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
the song is "wild world" by Cat Stevens in the LP "Tea for the Tiller man"

---------------------------------------------------- Cat Stevens from LP: Tea for the Tillerman ---------------------------------------------------- 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 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, 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, I'll always remember you like a child, girl. ----------------------------------------------------

that is 'Wild World' by Cat Stevens. I personally think he ripped the song off from somebody else - it is so unlike, melodically & harmonically, anything else he wrote.
