(Intro - Slow, atmospheric synths, deep bassline, snap beat)
(Breathy whispering/ad-libs)
Yeah…
Keep it moving…
It’s a cold world out here, baby.
(Hee-hee!)
Oh...
(Verse 1 - Rhythmic, Chris Brown style conversational tone)
Walked into the room, spotlight on the floor
I made the pavement, I built the doors
Suit tailored sharp, check the way I move
Got the whole city dancing to my groove
I got the electric light, I’m burning up the dark
I made the engines roar, I left my mark
But I’m staring at my reflection in the glass
And it’s looking a little... lonely in the past.
(Pre-Chorus - Building tension, The Weeknd style moody falsetto)
I got the power, I got the keys
But I’m falling to my knees
When the neon fades to black
I know I need you right back, yeah
Oh, I need you...
(Chorus - Explosive pop, Michael Jackson style high falsetto)
(Ooh!) It’s a man’s world, a concrete world
Built on the shoulders of a woman or a girl
(Hee-hee!)
It’s a man’s world, yeah, with all this silk
But it’s nothing, nothing...
Without you in my... (Breath) in my world.
(Verse 2 - Fast-paced, rhythmic, Michael Jackson "Bad" era style)
I make the money, I pay the price
I think about the toy, I think about the vice
It’s funny how a King still needs a Queen
To make the picture look complete and clean
I try to buy love, but it don’t pay
When I’m alone at the end of the day.
(Pre-Chorus - The Weeknd style)
I got the power, I got the keys
But I’m falling to my knees
When the neon fades to black
I know I need you right back, yeah
(Yeah, I need you)
(Chorus - Explosive pop)
(Ooh!) It’s a man’s world, a concrete world
Built on the shoulders of a woman or a girl
(Hee-hee!)
It’s a man’s world, yeah, with all this silk
But it’s nothing, nothing...
Without you in my... in my world.
(Bridge - Slow down, Chris Brown/MJ emotional breakdown)
(Slow bass, piano)
I can run the whole damn town...
(But I can’t stop my heart from falling down)
Yeah, they call me the man...
But I’m just a boy without you in my hand.
Ad-lib: (Baby!) Can you hear me? (Hee-hee!) Ooh!
(Guitar Solo / Synth Breakdown - High energy)
(Final Chorus - Max intensity, all artists' styles blended)
It’s a man’s world, a concrete world
Built on the shoulders of a woman or a girl
(It would be nothing, oh!)
It’s a man’s world, yeah, with all this silk
But it’s nothing, nothing...
Without you in my... in my world.
(Outro - Fading out with ad-libs)
Man needs a woman...
(Yeah)
Without you it’s just concrete...
Nothing, nothing...
(Hee-hee!)
Fade out
