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 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 no one made the ark This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing Without a woman or a girl Man thinks about the baby girls And the baby boys Man makes them happy 'Cause man made the toys After man made everything Everything he can You know that man makes money To buy from other men This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing Without a woman or a girl This is a man's, man's world But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing Without a woman or a girl He's lost in the wilderness He's lost in bitterness This is a man's, man's, man's world
