This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, man made the cars to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry 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, a man's, a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about a little baby girl and a baby boy
Man makes then happy 'cause man makes them toys
And after man has made everything, everything he can
You know man makes money to buy another man

This is a 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


It's a Man's World

The light keeps comin' on,
I got water in the fuel.
My brakes are gone,
I got a left front tire throwin' tread
by tomorrow morning I could be dead -
Maybe, baby , you been right all along.

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Row, row, row your boat
gently down the stream.
merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
life is but a dream.

Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes,
Flow gently, I'll sing thee a song in thy praise;
My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream,
Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream.

Lyingclose to you feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
Don't want to close my eyes
I don't want to fall asleep
Cause I'd miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing
Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I 'd still miss you baby
And I don't want to miss a thing

Aerosmith's disgustingly earwormy I don't want to miss a thing

well you made me think of it, so why should I be the only one to suffer!?

You don't need to know my name or speak my language
You don't have to understand a word I say
You don't need to kiss my lips or be my lover
For our hearts to beat together when I play

Just get lost in the rhythm of my inner heart
Can't you hear it in the dark ?

Remember your name and address
and telephone number too
And if, someday, you lose your way
you'll kno-ow just what to do

Walk up to that kind policeman
the very first one you see
and simply say, "I've lost my way
I cannot find my street

But I know my name and address
and telephone number, too"

And he'll be kind
and help you find
the dear ones who wait for you.

Driving down the interstate
Running thirty minutes late
Singing Margaritaville and minding my own
Some foreign car driver dude with a road rage attitude
Pulled up beside me talking on his cell phone
He started yelling at me like I did something wrong
He flipped me the bird an' then he was gone

Some beach
Somewhere
There's a big umbrella casting shade over a empty chair
Palm trees are growing and warm breezes blowing
I picture myself right there
On Some beach, somewhere

Somewhere

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.

There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time spare,
Time to learn, time to care,
Some day!

Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!

Music by Leonard Bernstein, lyrics by Stephen Sondheim.
