Lyrics
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't mean nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
You see
Man made the cars
To take us over the road
Man made the trains
To carry the heavy load
Man made the electric light
To take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water
Like Noah made the ark
This is a man's world
A man's world
But it wouldn't mean nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl, hmm-mm
Man thinks about a little baby girl
And a baby boy
Man makes them happy
'Cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything
Everything he can
You know that man makes that money
To buy from another man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't mean nothing
Not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl
No, no
Hey
The world would mean nothing
Without a woman
Woman or a girl
Oh yeah
This is a man's world
Oh, it's a man's world
But it wouldn't mean nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no
You know I need you
Oh-oh-ooh-oh-oh-oh
But it wouldn't mean nothing, not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
Hey, yeah
Oh no
