Wild World Lyrics
Artist: Cat Stevens
Album: 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 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 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,
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, 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,
and I'll always remember you like a child, girl.

wild world
(Cat Stevens) Youssef Islam...........what a man, what an excellent music what a touchy words..... You are great man Youssef, I wish if we could get in touch one day to thank you for your great music, songs and your voice which touched my hearts since I was very young.
I still love this guy!
THIS SONG WILL FOREVER BE ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE!
Thought about it in a hong kong hotel room, got the words here and softly sang. This was just so good.
Soy latino... pero desde que tenia 13 años recuerdo esta maravillosa música, hoy tengo 50 años y son muchos los recuerdos que acompañan esta musica. Cat es una persona de gran corazon; como dice nuestrio amigo Ahmed Raafat Sadek es un gran hombre con una exelente musica. Me agradaría conocerlo algun día.

I think it would sound excellent with a reggae beat. I love this song...so full of wisdom and simply stated. Not preaching but realizing the cycle continues into infinity. Birth, innocence, life tainted, mistakes made, jadedness, the world.
One love.
Soon my baby girl Amanda will be leaving the nest, she is spreading wings to University. This song "Wild World" just describes my feelings at the moment.
Una de las mejores canciones jamas escritas
my x fiance dedicated this to me.. it really hits home.

Man, this brings back the memories in the early 70s, on my way to San Antonio, going to radio broadcasting school. What a thrill it was to play this song, many times on the radio. This is indeed, a Wild World.....
great song!.. brings back alot of memories!
This is a really beautiful song. Actually, the words are very simple and that's why they touch the heart of almost everybody.And this is a real talent to say about simple things and feelings in such a beautiful way. Thank you, Youssef.

AWESOME! AWESOME!!! SONG! VERY touching!! I LOVE this song!! This song never gets old; brand NEW EACH TIME YOU HEAR IT!!!
ýts nice !! wonderful yusuf islam really great musician I love his songs
I'm wondering what you guys would say if Cat Stevens wouldn't be a moslem
To be a Muslim was his destiny, his path. Yusuf Islam would not be the legend he is if he was not so deeply sincere. Don't try to separate Cat Stevens from Yusuf Islam, and say you love one but dislike the other. He is not a hypocrite, so it is ugly to respond with hypocrisy. He did not sell out and be the person others wanted him to be; he preferred to love God over world. You can tell from his songs and lyrics that he was a good man, searching. Now it is obvious that he found his way home, and is an even better man.
Great song, wonderfull....
I second Jasmine's words. Simply Beautifull. What a song
I was young in the time when these songs were popular. They reflected how young people thought at that time. How far we have come from that way of thinking due to being over run by base cultures. How sweet to have these memories of gentler times...
oowww baby beware!cause there's wild world.everyone may do false thing to u and may make sad to u...so beware! not lost ur smile ý know smiling is hard in this wild world but try that.ý need ur smiling... I love u :)
words speaking to my soul...

its great song
that is a nice peace of poetry. i link
For my daughter heading to college...I'll miss you so much!
Oh what a shame that he betrayed his music for the fairytales of religion - any religion!
No this song is NOT by Yusuf Islam. He consciously turned his back on music when he became entrapped in religion.
No, this song is by Cat Stevens, who is - alas - no more.
I am covering this song.
está música é simplesmente maravilhosa a sonoridade dela nos faz esquecer de tudo
i will always this song the best song ever, and I do respect yousof for his islam.
ITS WOOOOOOOOOOW
yo soy chilena, y el otro dia escuche esta cancion y me enamore de ella, y ayer la escuche por segunda vez en la radio y ahora no paro de escucharla, es realmente buena.
im chilean, and the other day i listened for first time this song and i loved it, yesterday i listened for second time and now i cant stop listening. its really good.
I'm Dominican. I heard the song in a movie and I love it!!! Great song!
i'm senegalese, if i were to b a song, i'd b this one
Eer... I've found this song because of my ex-husband's status with words 'oh baby baby it's a wild world' in russian facebook... When I saw the man, who sings it, I really didn't like him and it seemed to me there's no reason to listen to it, but how I was wrong! This song is f*cking awesome!
Don't mind, it's incurable delirium...
Àé íîó èíãëèø âýðè âýýýë xDDD
its grate
somewhere in the early 70"s wild world came into my musical life
and it is still here now 3/19/11
your are the best singer of the world, good word, good music every thing in your songs is harmonious, touching our deep
@Estaban, they do have a reggae version of this song & it's just as beautiful! I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG! #TeamCatStevens/YusufIslam a true legend!

i simply love this track.Beautiful poetry like this is very rare.
I jst lv ths song. It rocks! Nice work Cat Stevens
this song carries memories with it.... touches my soul evertime i hear it...
Thanks Yusuf Islam for not only making the 70s more musically bareable but for inspiring me to learn to pick your music.
ITS SO NICE TO HEAR TOUCHES MY SOUL VERY DEEPLY EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO IT,,, A PIECE OF ADVICE TO ANY GIRL MY DAUGHTER LOVES THIS SO DO I FOR ITS MUSIC AND THE LYRICS BEAUTIFUL MAY ALLAH BLESS U
OLIVER ALL YOUR FACES
love cat pray he gets away from the moonshadow;moon god that is and looks to jesus and gets saved truth
siempre te recordaré como a la niña de mis ojos, es un mundo salvaje al que decidistes partir, pero en tu corazón yo estaré, no temas yo estaré en él.
Allah is NOT moon god, he is the one who created the universe and all creatures , and Mohammad and Jesus and Moses (peace and blessing be upon them) are his slaves, creatures and prophets
I LOVE THIS SONg in fact it wl 4eva b ma favourite. It alwez remind me of ma belove ROSE KUMI FRIMPONG. REST IN PEACE DEAR ROSE. CAT STEVENS I yada u. Jah bless u brethren
Great song by a rational musician before he went mad and was screwed up by a vile religion! RIP Cat.
It is sad that so many harp on his personal choice and are surprised that everyone should be happy. Can you all be happy by the song and for the poet who felt such insite. This is what the song is about: rise above the badness to be an honest happy human.
fags
GOSH SKINS <3 BEST SONG EVER. AND BEST GENERATION TOO! ALWAYS :)
Great song this indeed. Like the man(Cat) says "I have seen what the world can do...there is a lot of bad and beware!"
So my old man told me and I have prove it.
dis song is a real life song i really love dis soong sooooo much
it remind me of ma late girlfrnd i like dis song dat i listen every day
God bless u usif islam cat stevens
IS A SONG I WIL ALWAYS LISTEN TIL I DIE TO MEET ROSE
If we only had the gumption to express our rreal feelings of love and not let others influences interfere. This song reiterates our grievous mistakes akin to yoke for enyire existence.

if i also used to get chance to love than i also used to do everything
Goooood music,it remind of rose kumi frimpong. Rest in peace rose'' i wll always rememba u as a child girl.

pour la premiere fois j ai ecoute wild world pendant l ete 1971
This song plays a part in my life. Every time I play this song I still feel like playing it again and again...
For sure wild word isn't only a song but also a pain killer. When I pray it all the pain that av bn feeling washes away immediately
Great man this one ! And even if he changed religions ,to me he will always be Cat Stevens
take care sis
Its a lovely song,romantic....
its fun :)
The song is good but Cats in the Cradle (Harry Chapin); Dream (Elvis Presley); Piano Man, We Didn't Start the Fire (Billy Joel); Sweet Baby James, Fire and Rain (James Taylor); Glory Days, Born to Run, Human Touch (Bruce Springsteen); One Day at A Time (Eagles); Imagine, It's All Right, Watching the Wheels (John Lennon) are all excellent song (listen to the lyrics) to mention a few; however, you don't see any Islamic people making comments about these songs. Maybe if they changed their names to "Youssef" something, then they would surge the internet to get coverage...Forget Allah and Praise GOD! Amen.
Mr. Stevens wrote this song along with many of his other songs that make sense when he was Christian/Catholic and he never sued anyone then; however, now that Mr. Islam is Muslim, I don't recall any of his recent music being popular. If he so believe in God then He should ignore criticism and pray for God to forgive his enimies...But instead he choose a religion that teaches people to get even with their enemies as he is living proof of setting the example...What a "Wild World" we live in.
Sad song...my ex dedicated this song to me when we separated.
I loved this song in the 1970s but nowadays the sexism and condescension just turn my stomach. Think about these lines:
"Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear"
"It's hard to get by just upon a smile"
"I'll always remember you just like a child"
"A lot of nice things turn bad out there"
Why bring religion to music?
In Fact, he is a legend all because of music he made, not because of this religion shit.
That's the point Abhishek; Yusuf was and never will be a legend, he only became an extrmist through Islam. Mohamed's reference above regarding Dreams by Elvis is something to consider since this song was viewed by over 1billion people around the world before electronic technology was ever born. Listen to the lyrics (Love, Peace and Understanding to co-exist) if Elvis' name was Salim, how many viewers with muslim names would have surged the internet? Abhishek brother, this is the only forum you and I are able to civilly have a discussion without being butchered with a cleaver so I hope you are not pulling one of those INDIAN nonsense by stating your "religion shit".
even without islam there's world war I and II.NAZI, Guns and boms made in USA,Israel, russian. Is there one reason a war cause of Islamt!huh!??open your eyes and minds people.Oil, money,glory!!thats it. Islam is PERFRCT but moslems(a man with islam religion)NOT PERFECT.Don't get confused, be a clever man in this century guys!!!
thumbs up if u are here for skins
Perfect combination of Music + Lyrics + Voice..
You are gem Yusuf..
I could see why this woman would leave him: These lyrics are so condescending and patronizing. And "I'll always remember you like a child?" Seriously? Ew!
I was that child actually,i was 15 cat was 19, when we parted he told me "don't be a bad girl' because I was pretty wild at the time, so I don't care who don't believe this but I swear it is true..he never says who he writes songs for except when he was seeing patti dabonville who he actually mentions...and also he will not admit to who the songs were about...its top secret with cat..on saying this he was a gentle loving caring soft spoken guy when I knew him ...he still is an amazing man ..but when I knew him I barely knew him as a singer..this was in 1969.he didn't start seeing patti till 1971 ;P
My Dad says he's got photos of the lady that this song was written for. Her name if I recall was Elizabeth and she was stunning. Taken in NY in the very early 70s. The pictures my Dad has of her are wonderful. If anyone knows Cat Stevens personally, he may want to touch base with my Dad.
This song reminds me of my 18 year old daughter. Ready to go out and conquer the world, thinking she understands the world but is still so nieve. I hope she meets people who are kind. I want her to make good choices.
It's a really wonderful song that soften my feelings.
I love his music , it is a classic.
but he abandoned it when he converted to islam. He stopped playing music because its against that religion.What a waste.
