This is a man′s world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn′t be nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Know the rules
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn′t be nothing, hey
Without a woman or a girl
Man made the cars to carry us over the road
Man made the train 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, man's, man′s world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Thinks about our little bitty baby girls and our baby boys
Man makes ′em happy 'cause man makes ′em toys
When man makes everything, everything he can
Man makes money to buy from other men
This is a man's, man's, man′s world
But it wouldn′t be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Lord know it wouldn't be, won′t be anything to do
Hey, still a man's world
Gotta be a man′s world
Take, you up now
You know, a man walks up and gets himself a job
And he comes home, and he thinks he's done with everything
But you know, you know, when he gets home
And he′d better come in to charm when he gets home
I don't wanna tell you, fellows, man ain't got everything
He works out everything he can
That don′t mean nothing ′cause he's in debt to another man
And he go home, go home
Go home, go home, whoa!
Wait a minute
You see, man made the cars to carry us over the road
Man made the electric light to take us out of the dark
Man made the electric gear to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark
This is a man′s, man's, man′s world
But it wouldn't be nothin′
It wouldn't be nothin', baby
Without a woman or a girl
It wouldn′t be nothing
Man thinks he′s so big and tall
But he needs something by his side
He knows he needs love so deep and so wide
He needs someone just to keep him by his side
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah, by his side
Man is not a man, he needs a woman
Alright
Well, you know, man made the cars to carry us over the road
Man made the train 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, man′s, man's world
But it wouldn′t be nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Without a woman or a girl
Without a woman or a girl
Without a woman or a girl
It wouldn't be nothing
It wouldn′t be nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Thank you
