🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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

Sing it again — final chorus

  • 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
babyit'sworld
