Mr. Big “Wild World”

La la la la la la la la la la, la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la

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
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 breakin’ 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’ll make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware – 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, yeah

(Solo)

Baby I love you

But if you wanna leave, take good care
Hope you’ll make a lot of nice friends out there
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ooh baby, baby it’s a wild world
And I’ll always remember you like a child, girl, oh yeah

Ooh baby, baby it’s a wild world, it’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Yeah, yeah, ooh baby, baby it’s a wild world
And I’ll always remember you like a child, girl

I suddenly remembered this old favourite of mine, so I searched the www for the song. Back then I when I first heard it, I was still a kid, and my comprehension in english was still lacking a lot. I liked it purely because the melody is catchy. But now as I listened to it again, and understand the meaning behind the lyric (not that it’s deep, quite straightforward actually), I seriously cried. What’s more I’m not living with my parents anymore. While listening to it, I thought what’s father doing right now. Is he healthy? Is he getting more forgetful than the last time we met? hehe…I already filled in my schedule for the nest weekend to go home XD
