Lyrics
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
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 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
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
And 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
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
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
Oh, baby, baby, it's a wild world
And 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

Безумный Мир Теперь, когда я потерял всё ради тебя, Ты говоришь, что хочешь начать что-то новое, И моё сердце разбито твоим уходом, Милая, я скорблю. Но если ты хочешь уйти, Пусть у тебя будет всё хорошо, Надеюсь, ты сможешь носить много красивых вещей, Но, опять же, много хороших вещей там могут превратиться в плохие. О, детка, детка, это сумасшедший мир, Будет трудно в нем прожить, только благодаря улыбке. О, детка, детка, это безумный мир. Я всегда буду помнить тебя, как дитя, девочка. Ты знаешь, я много чего повидал в этом мире, И это разрывает моё сердце пополам, Потому, что я никогда не хотел-бы видеть тебя несчастной, девочка. Не будь плохой девчонкой, Но если ты хочешь уйти, Пусть у тебя будет всё хорошо, Надеюсь, ты найдёшь там много хороших друзей, Но только помни, Там может быть много зла, так что, будь начеку, Будь начеку, О, детка, детка, это сумасшедший мир, Так трудно в нем прожить, только благодаря улыбке. О, детка, детка, это безумный мир, И я всегда буду помнить тебя, как дитя, девочка. Детка, я люблю тебя, Но если ты хочешь уйти, Пусть у тебя будет всё хорошо, Надеюсь, ты найдёшь там много хороших друзей, Но только помни, Там может быть много зла, так что, будь начеку, будь начеку, О, детка, детка, это сумасшедший мир, Будет трудно в нем прожить, только благодаря улыбке. О, детка, детка, это безумный мир, И я всегда буду помнить тебя, как дитя, девочка. ©️Yusuf Islam / Cat Stevens

Liked the sponge and yarn stamps

[@jeffsafc73]

The Cat. There can be only one

[@user-xp9ej8ei6e]

I am not crying....it was just too much garlic in the tzaziki. 😭 (the cute old mans father was from Cyprus / Greece and mother from Gävle in Sweden).

[@barbrohedstrom9024]

Att Steven gör

[@user-uo7dw2zs8d]

Жыргал эле ушулардыкы

[@MF-yw9vu]

1:28. Oh dear. Maybe leave the singing to actual singers.

[@leiper72]

Ok, did you even watched it to the end..? He is a young singer, very nervous, give him a break and see that the big artist Cat/Yusuf got up there and hugged him after.. That was the moment we should remember! 😃

[@MF-yw9vu]

Well, I remember the terrible bit at 1:28. Is that ok with you? Yes, I watched the whole thing. It actually gets worse towards the end. And as for his 'mouth trumpet' solo...

[@tuulaannelifredriksson1254]

Obviously you missed one thing, Cat Stevens reaction. So who cares about yours.

[@MF-yw9vu]

@@tuulaannelifredriksson1254 I think Cat was just being polite. Poor Cat, having to endure that travesty. Not quite as bad as Jose Feliciano murdering 'Every breath you take' right in front of Sting, but close. Seriously though, that 'mouth trumpet' bit; what the hell was he thinking?

[@tuulaannelifredriksson1254]

@@MF-yw9vu you must be blind, no artist get up and give another artist a hug, just to be polite. And you can see it in his face how impressed he is about Benjamins song. He even after in the interview said he wanted to cowork with him. So I guess you are just yelous for some reason. You just make a fool out ogöf your self with such ridiculous comments.
