Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing
Nothing without a woman or a girl
You see, man made the car
To take us over the road
Man made the train
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, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
Man think about a little bitty
Baby girl and a baby boy
Man makes then happy
'Cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything, everything he can
You know that man makes money to buy from other man
But this is a man, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
This is a man's, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing
Without a woman or a girl
He's lost in the wilderness
He's lost in bitterness
Cause it's a man's world
The song "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" by Juliet Simms (#TeamCeeLo) is a powerful and moving tribute to the contributions of women in a male-dominated society. The song is a cover of James Brown's hit song of the same name from 1966. The lyrics of the song express the idea that the world is dominated by men, but it would be nothing without the contributions of women.
The first verse of the song talks about how men have created various modes of transportation like cars, trains, and boats to travel and carry heavy loads. Additionally, they have created electric light to bring light into the darkness. However, despite these innovations, the world would be nothing without women. The next verse talks about how men make toys for baby boys and girls but acknowledges that without women, the world would be incomplete.
The chorus of the song repeats the idea that the world is a man's world, but it would be nothing without women. The final verse talks about how men make money to buy from other men, but it is the women who bring joy and happiness to their lives. The song is a powerful reminder of the important role that women play in society despite living in a male-dominated world.

Juliet Beneke
She should have won that season.
One of the best performances on The Voice over the years.
Cliff Riley
She is not just fluff and stuff. She is the real deal. She sings from her soul and nobody can put a price tag on that. Juliet...fair Juliet....sing me a song!
Sammi Doll
Please take into account everything that she did AFTER The Voice.
She really is quite a destructive, manipulative human being.
Quite possibly one of the rudest people I have ever met in my life.
She claims to be "struggling" but yet she owns some of the most expensive clothes I've ever seen a musician of her limited popularity wear, she lives in a house which has a walk-in closet the size of my apartment, but yet when she (very rarely) announces that she's coming out with new music, she asks her fans (the majority of which are teenagers) to pay for it! And that's pretty damn ridiculous in my opinion.What really sucks is that she really is quite talented in her singing/songwriting skills, but yet she feels the need to manipulate and scam people out of their money when she has a net worth of over $200,000?
It's really veryĀ childish of her to be waltzing around acting as if she's "all that and a bag of chips" when she is one of the most HORRIBLE people I have ever seen in my life, and I've met some pretty shitty people....but I've never come across someone as disgusting and manipulative as that.
Sorry for my outburst. Carry on.

I still think she deserved to win. Her voice is truly amazing.
Andrew Lee
I still love that growl! If she wasn't sick towards the end, there's no way she doesn't win.
