Lyrics The Pointer Sisters

The Pointer Sisters

It Ain't a Man's World

For too long

we've been neglected and treated wrong

It's time you see

that every woman has her needs

Equality

that's what we want

Foundation

to build upon

It's time you changed

Look past my body and see my brain

It is time

(Every man needs a woman)

Time you accept the truth

Just want to know

I go to work until your kids give birth

Without me, what would you do?

Stop - because it ain't a man's world

Cause every boy needs a girl

I said it ain't a man's world

Open your eyes, you'll find a pearl

Cook and clean

That's all a woman used to mean

Don't you know it's time you change

Look past my body and see my brain

One thing about me, I'm little and low

Find me a man wherever I go

They calls me string bean because I'm so tall

When men see me, they're ready to fall

I'm young as morning, fresh as dew

Everybody loves me, so do you

I'm little and lean and sweet to the bone

They like to pick me up and carry me home

When I passed 40, I dropped pretense

Cause men like women who've got some sense

55 is perfect, so is 59

Cause every man needs to rest sometime

Equality, that's what we want

Foundation, to build upon

Through hardship

we stood the test

You can't deny us

because we ain't done yet

[Chorus]
