“Wild World” by Cat Stevens
“But if you want to 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”
These iconic lyrics by Cat Stevens sound like they are directed at someone. Because the song also contains the line, “I’ll always remember you like a child, girl,” many thought the lyrics were about his girlfriend at the time, Patti D’Arbanville. But Stevens insists the song is about himself. “I was trying to relate to my life… It’s talking about losing touch with home and reality.”
