"Super Duper Love (Are You Diggin' on Me)" is a song by Willie "Sugar Billy" Garner, released in 1975 as a single from his 1975 album Super Duper Love. It was made famous when English soul singer Joss Stone covered the song's part one for her debut album, The Soul Sessions (2003), from which it was released in May 2004 as the second and final single under the title "Super Duper Love". A live performance of James Brown's 1966 hit song "It's a Man's Man's Man's World", retitled "It's a Man's Man's World", is included as a B-side to the CD single.

Joscelyn Eve Stoker (born 11 April 1987), better known by her stage name Joss Stone, is an English singer, songwriter and actress. She rose to fame in late 2003 with her multi-platinum debut album, The Soul Sessions, which made the 2004 Mercury Prize shortlist. Her second album, the similarly multi-platinum Mind Body & Soul (2004), topped the UK Albums Chart for one week and spawned the top ten hit "You Had Me", Stone's most successful single on the UK Singles Chart to date. Both the album and single received one nomination at the 2005 Grammy Awards, while Stone herself was nominated for Best New Artist, and in an annual BBCpoll of music critics, Sound of 2004, was ranked fifth as a predicted breakthrough act of 2004. She became the youngest British female singer to top the UK Albums Chart. Stone's third album, Introducing Joss Stone, released in March 2007, achieved gold record status by the RIAA and yielded the second-ever highest debut for a British female solo artist on the Billboard 200, and became Stone's first top five album in the US.

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, ooh

You see, man made the car to take us over the road and

Man made the train to carry the heavy load

Man made electric light to take us out of the dark

Man made the boat for the water

Like, like Noah made the ark

This is a man's, a man's world, ooh

But it would mean nothing

Nothing without, without a woman or a girl

Without a woman or a girl

Man thinks about the little bitty baby girls

And the baby boys see

Man makes then happy

Cause man made them toys

And after man make everything

Everything he can

You know that man makes money to buy from other man

This is a man's, a man's world ooh

But it wouldn't be nothing

Not one little thing no

Without a woman or a girl

Without a woman or a girl

Man needs a woman

He's got to have a woman

Man, he needs a woman

He's got to have a woman

Man makes everything he can

But you see a woman makes a better man

A woman makes a better man

This is a man's, a man's world ooh

But it would mean nothing

Not one little thing no

Without a woman or a girl, no

Without a woman or a girl, no

It would mean nothing.
