Sometimes its hard to be a woman

Givin' 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 nights are cold and lonely



Stand by your man

And show the world you love him

Keep givin' all the love you can

Stand by your man



(repeat last stanza)
