Writer(s): James Brown, Milton Nascimento
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 trains to carry the heavy load
Man made 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 a little bit of baby girls and a baby boy
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man made everything everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing not one little thing without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
He's lost lost in a mess now
