James Brown
It’s a Man’s World
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
You see, man made the cars
To take us over the road (Mm)
Man made the train
To carry the heavy load (Mm)
Man made the electric light (Mm)
To take us out of the dark (Yeah, yeah, yeah, mm)
Man made the boat for the water (Mm, yeah, yeah)
Like Noah made the ark (Yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
This is a man's, a man's, man's world (Mm, mm)
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh-oh
[Verse 3]
Man thinks a little 'bout a baby girl (Mm)
And baby boys (Mm)
Man make them happy (Yeah)
'Cause man make them toys (Mm)
And after man make everything
Everything he can (Oh, yeah, mm)
That you know then man made money
To buy from other man (Other man)
[Chorus]
This is a man's world (Mm, mm)
But it wouldn't be nothing (Mm)
Nothing without a woman or a girl (Oh-oh)
Oh-oh (Oh-oh)
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh
Mm
Yeah
Oh-oh
[Outro]
It's is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing (Nothing, nothing)
Oh, where would we be, be without a woman or a girl?
