Yeah, this one goes out to all the ladies in the house      I need two to stand by me when the chips are down   And stick around while I defend my crown   And no sell-out, the trip is too rough   And I'll blow your skin to sofa, leave your mind to be tough      And I may seem rough but life is much rougher   To see success sometimes you gotta suffer   I need a woman that's stronger than material needs   And isn't motivated by greed      Dry my tear-drops and feelin' my pain   And watchin' my back while I strive to maintain   And makin' love like a medicine doctor   I knew that she was bad from the day that I clocked her      Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your baby)   Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your man)      My enemies come and my break-bread's tough   But you recognize game from your eyes and walkin'   Baby, ain't no way I'll let the vultures attack you   So I'll teach you the game and tell you how to react to      The conversation, sexy vibration   Visual stimulation, slick persuasion   Times is hard, I need a woman that rolls with God   And the only man she loves is Todd      But will you be around when the raindrops fallin'   Or could it be you never loved me at all?   And I need a trooper, a soldier, a agent   I need someone who can roll with my arrangement      The reap reducer factor   And the Queen of the Universe, not a actor   And standin' by her man till the end   Not only as a lover but a friend      Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your baby)   Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your man)      Men, will things get better?   We can look back at the whole operators   Remember the times when they said I couldn't do it   But I was rougher than rough and baby you knew it      And you held back when your loved jobs called in   You had faith when they said that I'd fallin'   You understood that what we had was good   You stood by your man like a real queen should      That's why now I got you livin' your dream   As a beautiful wisdom, a part of my team   And as long as I live on this earth   Anything you want is what your loyalty's worth      Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your baby)   Stand by your man, stand by your man   (I wanna send this one out to all the ladies in the house)   (You got to stand by your man)      Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your baby)   Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your man)      You got to stand by your baby   You got to stand by your man   Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your baby)      Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your man)   Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your baby)      You got to stand by your man   You got to stand by your baby   Stand by your man, stand by your man   (You got to stand by your man)
