Some-times__it's hard_____to be a wo-man,__
giv-ing all your love to just one man.___
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times,__
do'in things that you don't___ un-der-stand.___

But if__ you love him___ you'll for-give him,__
ev-en though he's hard to un-der-stand.
And if___ you love him,  oh,___ be proud of him,
'cause af-ter all___ he's just a man_____

Stand by your man,  give him two arms to cling to,
And___some-thing warm to come to
when nights are cold and lone-ly.
 
Stand by your man,  and tell the world you love him.
Keep giv-ing all the love you can; 
Stand by your man, and show the world you love him,
Keep giv-ing all the love you can:______
stand by your man.______________________
