about
3 years in the making, Wild World, over reggae styles is not conceptually new regarding this cover by singer/songwriter Yusif Islam formerly known as Cat Stevens. This gem of a divine idea given to Kyme, did not go away over the 3 years, but the right musical arrangement had to be revealed. Along with her own original lyrics & style bend, the miracle of how this came to be is punctuated in making this song feel like it's all her own.
lyrics
1st Verse:
Now that I've lost everything to you,
You say you wanna start something new,
And it's breaking my heart you're leaving me boy.
But if you wanna leave take good care,
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear.
But a lot of nice things go bad out there, ohhh
Hook:
Oh baby, baby it's a wild world, ohhh
It's hard to get by, just on a pretty smile oh yea
Oh baby, baby it's a wild world.
I'll always remember you (2x's)
2nd Verse:
Now that I've seen 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, ohh
But if you gotta leave take good care,
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there.
But there's a lot of bad out there,
So beware, beware ohhh
Bridge:
There is so much we don't know boy
You don't have to,
You don't have to go boy.
Not all that glitters is all gold girl.
Won't you listen,
Keep your distance,
Don't go girl.
It's enough to make your head spin,
Quit before you even begin,
The many deadly sins play out
You're played out.
Hook, line, and sink,
Got you right between your eyes, your mind
Hoodwinked, the very places you think, your safe.
Inside yourself, can't trust nobody else.
It's the wild, wild West,
For every boy and girl
Trying their best,
Without a compass pointing true.
Does it really exist? Yo..
We just wanna, we just wanna know what true
We just wanna know.
We just wanna, we just wanna know the truth
Just tell us the truth
