I am trying to find out the name of the song and the artist who sings it. I
know a little of the lyrics. I think the song was popular in the late
seventies, maybe early eighties.

I hope you make alot of friends out there. Oh baby baby It's a wild
world_________ on a smile girl.

Thanks in advance,

Jo-Anne

Wild World
by Cat Stevens

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

Baby, baby it's a wild world
And 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

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
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

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.

Cat Stevens off the Tea for the Tillerman album

Wild World

Now that I've lost everything to you
You say you wanna start something new

And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'
Baby, I'm grievin'
But if you wanna leave, take good care
I 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 breakin' my heart in two
Because I never wanna see you a sad girl


Don't be a bad girl

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

Chorus

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

Chorus
