[Chorus]
This is a man's world
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl

[Verse 1]
You see man made the cars
To take 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

[Chorus]
This is a man's, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl

[Verse 2]
Man thinks about a little bit of baby girls
And a baby boys
Man makes them happy
Cause man makes them toys
And after man's made everything
Everything he can
You know that man makes money
To buy from other man

[Chorus]
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Not one little thing
Without a woman or a girl

[Bridge]
Oh how, how a man needs a woman
I'll simplifies with the man who don't have a woman

[Outro]
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in the bitterness
He's lost in love, oh
