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, but we made the road
Man made the train, we still carrying the heavy load
Man made electric light, we find our way out the dark
Man made the boat for water, we run away from hard times

This is a man's world
But you wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a girl, oh

This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing without a woman or a girl, oh

Just think about our little bitty baby girls and our baby boys
Man makes them happy, 'cause man buys them toys
And after man make everything he can
You know that man makes money
He makes all that money
To steal from another man

This is a man's world, a man's world
Wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl, oh

With fire
With pouring rain
Can't take us
The ones you blame
You bring your baggage
It causes us shame
You're not the only ones
Living in the world
Full of pain, full of pain

You say it's a man's world
But you wouldn't have, or know, or be in the world
Without a woman or a girl

"Y'all know the temperature, y'all know -"
