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 road
Man made the trains to carry heavy loads
Man made 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, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girlMan thinks about a little baby girls and a baby boys
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made 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 girlHe's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
