It's a Man's Man's Man's World
Seal Lyrics

When a man loves a woman
When a man is truly in love with a woman

Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He is completely consumed with thoughts of her

He'd trade the world
He would give up anything and everything

For the good thing he's found
For the love that he has found in her

If she is bad, he can't see it
Even her flaws and mistakes are overlooked

She can do no wrong
In his eyes, she is perfect

Turn his back on his best friend
He would even betray his closest friend for her

He'd spend his very last dime
He would do anything in his power to keep her

Just trying to hold on to what he needs
He is desperately holding on to her love

He'd give up all his comforts
He would sacrifice his own comfort and wellbeing for her

And sleep out in the rain
He would endure anything for her, even sleeping in the rain

If she said that's the way
If that's what she wants

Baby that's the way it ought to be
He will do it to make her happy

I give you everything, I mean everything
He is willing to give her everything he has

Just trying to hold on
He is fighting to keep their love alive

To your precious love
To the love that she gives him

Please don't treat me bad
He pleads with her not to hurt him

This is a man's world
Men have created and invented many things in this world

But it wouldn't mean nothing
All of these accomplishments would be meaningless

Without a woman or a girl
Without the love, companionship, and influence of women

Man made the cars
Men invented and produced cars to travel long distances

To take us over the road
To make transportation more convenient

Man made the trains
Men built the trains for carrying heavy loads over long distances

To carry the heavy load
To transport goods and materials efficiently

Man made the electric light
Men invented electric lights to illuminate the darkness

To take us out of the dark
To provide light in the absence of natural light

Man made the boat for the water
Men built boats for sea travel and commerce

Like Noah made the ark
Referring to the biblical character Noah who built an ark to save his family and animals from the flood

Man makes them happy
Men provide women with material possessions that bring them joy

'Cause man makes them toys
Men create products that women love and enjoy

When a man loves a woman, yeah
When a man is truly and deeply in love with a woman

You know that man makes that money
Men work hard to earn money for their families

To buy from another man
To spend that money on the products and services created by other men

The world would mean nothing without a woman
Women bring meaning and purpose to the world through their love, compassion, and contributions

Woman or a girl, oh yeah
Female energy and influence is essential in this world

You know I need (I need)
I need and value your love and companionship

Not one little thing
None of the things that men have created would matter without the love and support of women

This is a man's world (when a man loves a woman)
Men have built so much in this world, but it's all for nothing if they don't have the love of a woman
