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 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're 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 Well honey that's the only way that daddy knows how to answer your question I knew when your mama passed away that someday I have to explain the things to you That might make me and you both feel unconfortable So I thought that the best thing to do Is to sing you this song your mama used to sing I hope that you will understand cause she did stand by her man Stand by your man... Stand by your man...
