[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Stand by your man, give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely

[Chorus]
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man

[Chorus]
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
