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
Man thinks about a little baby girl and a baby boy
Man makes them happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man makes 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
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 don't mean nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl, oh no, no
You know I need
But it wouldn't mean nothing, not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl
This is a man's world, this is a man's world
This is a man's world
