James Brown - It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World

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.

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.

This is a man's man's man's world,

But it wouldn't be nothing,

Nothing without a woman or a girl.

Man thinks about the little bitty baby girl

And the baby boys.

Man makes them happy,

'Cause man made them toys.

And 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 not one little thing,

Without a woman or a girl.

[Outro:]

[next two lines are not part of the original disc version]

(Oh how, how man needs a woman

I sympathize with the man that don't have a woman)

He's lost in the wilderness

He's lost in bitterness

He's lost in loneliness
