Lyrics of
Stand By Your Man

Stand by Your Man is one of the most famous songs by American country music singer Tammy Wynette. The lyrics discuss unwavering forgiveness and understanding in a marital relationship. It was co-written by Tammy Wynette and Billy Sherrill and released in 1968. It has been covered by many artists over the years and often discussed in media and literature for its message about a womans role in marriage, particularly during the 60s and 70s.

Sometimes its 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 tell 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
