Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud (Live At Dallas Memorial Auditorium / 1968)

This is a man's world This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Without a woman or a girl Say it one more time This is a man's world This is a man's world But it would be nothing Without a woman or a girl You see, man made the cars to take us over the roads Man made the trains to carry the heavy loads Man made electric light to take us out of the dark Man made the boat for the water, like Noah made the ark This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Nothing without a woman or a girl Man thinks about a little bit of baby girls and baby boys Man makes them happy 'cause man makes them toys And after man make everything he can Man makes money to buy from other man This is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothing Nothing without a woman or a girl Oh, now man needs a woman Man got to have a woman He needs a woman or a girl He needs a woman Man makes everything he can But a woman makes a better man Man needs a woman Man thinks about anything but But money can't buy him love Face the fact, you gotta face the fact Man needs a woman He needs a woman or a girl, oh oh Man needs a woman He needs a woman
