"It Ain't A Man's World" lyrics
Far too long
We've been neglected and treated wrong
It's time you see
That every woman has her needs
Equality
That's what we want
Foundation
To build upon
It's time you change
Look past my body and see my brain
(It is time)
Every man needs a woman
(Time you accept the truth)
It's time you accept the truth
(Wanna know)
Go to work 'til your kids give birth
Without me, what would you do?
(What would you do?)
Stop!
Because, it ain't a man's world
'Cause every boy needs a girl
I said it ain't a man's world
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl
Cook and clean
That's all a woman used to mean
Don't you know it's time you change
Look past my body and see my brain
(It is time)
Every man needs a woman
(Time you accept the truth)
It's time you accept the truth
(Wanna know)
Said, you go to work 'til your kids give birth
Without me, what would you do?
(What would you do?)
Oh!
Because, it ain't a man's world
'Cause every boy needs a girl
I said it ain't a man's world
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl
One thing about me, I'm little and low
Find me a man wherever I go
They calls me string bean 'cause I'm so tall
When men see me, they're ready to fall
I'm young as morning, fresh as dew
Everybody loves me, and so do you
I'm little and lean and sweet to the bone
They like to pick me up and carry me home
When I passed 40, I dropped pretense
Cause men like women who've got some sense
55 is perfect, so is 59
Cause every man needs to rest sometime
(It is time)
Every man needs a woman
(Time you accept the truth)
It's time you accept the truth
(Wanna know)
Go to work 'til your kids give birth
Without me, what would you do?
(What would you do?)
What would you do?
What would you do without me, boy?
Come on, baby-
Stop!
Because, it ain't a man's world
'Cause every boy needs a girl
I said it ain't a man's world
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl
Equality
That's what we want
Foundation
To build upon
Through hardship
We stood the test
Can't deny us
Because we ain't done yet
Ain't a man's world (I said, it ain't a man's world, no!)
'Cause every boy needs a girl (We need each other)
I said it ain't a man's world (No, no, no, no)
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl (Hey, hey-hey!)
It ain't a man's world
'Cause every boy needs a girl (A woman's work is never done)
I said it ain't a man's world (Honey, honey)
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl
Stop!
We've been neglected and treated wrong
It's time you see
That every woman has her needs
Equality
That's what we want
Foundation
To build upon
It's time you change
Look past my body and see my brain
(It is time)
Every man needs a woman
(Time you accept the truth)
It's time you accept the truth
(Wanna know)
Go to work 'til your kids give birth
Without me, what would you do?
(What would you do?)
Stop!
Because, it ain't a man's world
'Cause every boy needs a girl
I said it ain't a man's world
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl
Cook and clean
That's all a woman used to mean
Don't you know it's time you change
Look past my body and see my brain
(It is time)
Every man needs a woman
(Time you accept the truth)
It's time you accept the truth
(Wanna know)
Said, you go to work 'til your kids give birth
Without me, what would you do?
(What would you do?)
Oh!
Because, it ain't a man's world
'Cause every boy needs a girl
I said it ain't a man's world
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl
One thing about me, I'm little and low
Find me a man wherever I go
They calls me string bean 'cause I'm so tall
When men see me, they're ready to fall
I'm young as morning, fresh as dew

Cause men like women who've got some sense

Cause every man needs to rest sometime
(It is time)
Every man needs a woman
(Time you accept the truth)
It's time you accept the truth
(Wanna know)

Without me, what would you do?
(What would you do?)
What would you do?
What would you do without me, boy?
Come on, baby-

'Cause every boy needs a girl
I said it ain't a man's world
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl

I said it ain't a man's world (No, no, no, no)
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl (Hey, hey-hey!)
It ain't a man's world
'Cause every boy needs a girl (A woman's work is never done)
I said it ain't a man's world (Honey, honey)
Open your eyes, you'll find your pearl
Stop!
