Lyrics:

Sometimes, it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your life to just one man
You'll have bad times, 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 loved him, oh, be proud of him
'Cause after all he's just a man

Stand by your man
(Give him someone to cling to)
And something warm to come to
When the nights are 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

Sometimes it's hard to be a gimme
Giving all your love to just one band
(To just one band)
But if you love them
Please don't make fun of them
'Cause after all we're just a band
Stand by your man
(Give him someone to cling to)
And something warm to come to
When the nights are 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
