Brown: This is a man's world, this is a man's world and
But it wouldn't be nothing, 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 heavy loads
Man made electric lights
To take us out of the dark
And man made the boat for the water,
Like my bible says Noah made the ark
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
[Pavarotti] Man runs the power but doesn't know
great limits has to be how it will be done
In his palm he holds an idea
that doesn't live
in his imagination… he wanted
If you don't notice that then
nothing makes sense
if you live only for yourself
Brown: Man thinks about a little bitty baby girl
And a baby boy
Man makes then happy
Because man makes them toys
And after man made other things he can
Man makes liras, pesos, dollars, rupees
To buy for every good woman and every man
This is a man's world,
Pavarotti: nothing makes sense if
you live only for yourself
Brown: But it wouldn't be nothing,
Without a woman or a girl.
Pavarotti: Only for yourself
Brown: He's lost in the wilderness,
He's lost in bitterness.
Pavarotti: If you don't notice that then
nothing makes sense
if you live only for yourself
Only for yourself, yourself
Brown: This is a man's world, yeah.
