Oh Babe
Ah Darlin
Oh Babe
My My Sweet Babe
[Repeat 2X]
[Verse 1]
In a scheme of things
He's the King of his castle
And the head of his household
And when you look at a man
You expect him to be a leader
This world belongs to a man
But there is someone else
That I can not leave out
She's the mother of the earth
With out a doubt
Even though were living in
[Chorus 2]
A man's world
Know your living in
A mans world
But it would be nothing
Without the touch from
A woman
[Repeat 2x : 2nd repeat ends in "Yeah" "Yeah" Yeah"]
[Verse 2]
A man is imperative
In the world we live
He's a father to his children
And the head of a nation
And when you look at a man
You expect him to be a provider
This world belongs to a man
But there is someone else
That I can not leave out
She's the mother of the earth
With out a doubt
Even though were living in
[Chorus 2]
A man's world
Know your living in
A mans world
But it would be nothing
Without the touch from
A woman
[Repeat 2x : 2nd repeat ends in "Yeah" "Yeah" Yeah"]
[Bridge]
Now tell me who's the King of his castle
And tell me who wears the pants around here
who's a father to his children
A man like me
Now who would be the queen of the castle
Sitting beside you through the thick and the thin
She's the corner stone of this family
She's the mother of the earth
Even though she living in
[Chorus 2]
A man's world
Know your living in
A mans world
But it would be nothing
Without the touch from
A woman
[Repeat 2x : 2nd repeat ends in "Yeah" " Yeah" Yeah"]
[Chorus 1]
Oh Babe
Ah Darlin
Oh Babe
My My Sweet Babe
[Repeat 2X]
[ad-lib is going on as the song ends]
The song begins with the glorification of men, with the lyrics stating that a man is important in the scheme of things, and he is the king of his castle and the head of his household. However, the song also acknowledges that there is someone else that cannot be left out, and that is the mother of the earth. The lyrics state that even though we are living in a man's world, it would be nothing without the touch from a woman.
The second verse of the song highlights the importance of men as fathers and providers in the world we live in, but also emphasizes that women play a crucial role as the corner stone of the family and the mother of the earth. The bridge of the song reiterates the importance of women, acknowledging them as the queen of the castle who stand by their partners through the thick and the thin.
In summary, the song celebrates the importance of both men and women in the world we live in, and acknowledges that even though we may live in a man's world, it would be nothing without the touch from a woman.
