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
