See, a man is a man of his word
And keeps his word
Snatches life by the collar, gets what he wants
But all of his power means nothing if he ain't happy

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

A man's got power, a mans got riches
A man's got respect but hangs in the trenches
Work day to day just to pay the bills
But behind all the lights, ya'll the struggle is real
Hustler! Baller! He may be
What is he without a she?
This is a man's, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing no without a woman or girl

See, a man's got dreams
A man wants to fly
Do what he gotta do, ah just to get by
See, a man comes from nothing
And makes something of himself
But no matter how much money, no
See, a woman is his true wealth
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, not one lil thing without a woman or girl
Oooh-Oooh-Oooh, I

Hе would be lost in the worldliness, hеy
He would be lost in bitterness
He would be lost without a woman
Man, see, he would be lost without a woman

His... His world means nothing without a woman
All of his fortune and fame means nothing without a woman
This is a man's world but without a woman
This is a man's world , hey, hey, without a woman
But it don't mean nothing without a woman
Nothing without a w.o.m.a.n
