This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it would be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars
To take us over the road
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load
Man made electric light
To take us out of the dark
Man made a boat for the water
Like, like Noah made The Ark

This is a man's world
But it would be nothing
Without a woman or a girl

Ooh
Yeah
He's lost
Ooh

Man thinks about
Little girls and baby boys
Man make them happy
'Cause man make them toys
And after man makes everything
Everything he can
Even though man makes money
To buy from other man

This is a man's world
It wouldn't be nothing
This is a man's world (man's world)
But it wouldn't be nothing (nothing)
This is the man's world (man's world)
Wouldn't be nothing
Without a woman or a girl
