Sometimes it's hard to be a woman,
giving all your love to just one man.
And if you love him, oh be proud of him,
'cause after all he's just a man. *
Stand by your man, give him to 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 ca-a-a-an. Baby!
Stand by your ma-a-an.
