Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
A man's only half a man without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
Try me, but you can't without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
[Verse 1]
Wake up open up your eyes, I'm already on your mind
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I know-oh-oh-oh
Don't need me, that's what you say
Why you calling night and day?
Woah-oh-oh-oh
I know-oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a boys world, with the girls, girls
Yeah, the girls, girls keep it running
It's a boys world but you don't know in the girls world, it ain't nothing
[Chorus]
A man's only half a man without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
Try me, but you can't without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
Half a heart (Half a heart)
Half a soul (Half a soul)
Though it ain't half as fun to love
Oh, no, no
A man's only half a man without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
[Verse 2]
Push me through your neighborhood, you be looking twice as good
Woah-oh-oh-oh
No-oh-oh-oh
Try to put me in the box? I'ma drop you like it's hot
Bubbling over the top, baby this ain't what you thought
[Pre-Chorus]
It's a boys world, with the girls, girls
Yeah, the girls, girls keep it running
It's a boys world but you don't know in the girls world, it ain't nothing
[Chorus]
A man's only half a man without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
Try me, but you can't without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
Half a heart (Half a heart)
Half a soul (Half a soul)
Though it ain't half as fun to love
Oh, no, no
A man's only half a man without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
[Bridge]
A man's only half a man
Half a man
A man's only half a man
Half a man, ooh
[Chorus]
A man's only half a man without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
Try me, but you can't without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
Half a heart (Half a heart)
Half a soul (Half a soul)
Though it ain't half as fun to love
Oh, no, no
A man's only half a man without a woman-man-man
A woman-man
