Sometimes it's hard
To be a woman
Giving all your love
To just one man
You'll have bad times
And he'll have good times
Doin' things
That you don't understand

But if you love him
You'll forgive him
Even though he's hard
To understand
And if you love him
Oh be proud of him
'cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man
Give him two arms
To cling to
And something warm
To come to
When the nights are cold
And lonely

Stand by your man
And tell the world
You love him
Keep giving all the love you can

Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world
You love him
Keep giving all the love you can

Stand by your man
