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   Doing 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 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
