Lyrics It's a Man's Man's Man's World (Live In Tampa, FL 1966) - James Brown

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

I'll say it one more time
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
Take over the road
Men made the train
To carry the heavy load
Men made the electrolights
To keep us out of the dark
Men made the bullet for the war
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

Men think of our little-bittle baby girls and the baby boys
Men make them happy, 'cause men make them toys
And after man make everything, everything he can
Do you know that man makes money to buy from other men

This is a man′s world
I don't, I don't wanna live here
Without a woman or a girl

A man needs a woman (woman)
He needs a woman (woman)
He needs a woman (woman)
He needs a woman (woman)

You need a woman when you′re feeling bad (woman)
You need a woman when you′re feeling sad (woman)
You need a woman when you're feeling glad (woman)
It′s the best thing a man ever have (woman)

You need a woman in the morning (woman)
You need a woman late at night (woman)
You need a woman in the noontime, baby (woman)
A woman is always right (woman)

You've got to have a woman (woman)
Lord, you′ve got to have a woman (woman)
Now take a dime, I want you to listen to me (woman)
I want you to listen to me (woman)
When your baby pack up and leave now (woman)

I'm talking to the fellows (woman)
When your woman pack up and leave now (woman)
It make you feel a little bad (woman)
You feel just like you wanna cry now (woman)
Don′t be ashamed (woman)
Fall down on your knees and let it go (woman)

You see, this is what you do when your woman pack up and leave now (woman)
Once she get to the door (woman)
She turn around and wave her last goodbye (woman)
You say, "Baby, tell me what I've done wrong now" (woman, woman)
You say, "Baby, try me one more time" (woman, woman)
You say, "Baby, don't make me weep now" (woman, woman)
You say, "Baby, I love someone" (woman, woman)

You say, "Baby, if you leave now I′m goin′ crazy" (woman, woman)
You say, "Baby, I need good, good lovin' now" (woman, woman)
You say, "Baby-" (woman...)
