This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girlYou see, man made the cars to take us over the roads
Man made the trains to carry the heavy loads
Man made the electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the arkThis is a man's, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
Man thinks about a little baby girls and a-baby boys
Man makes them happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man make everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other manThis is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl
