(Billy Sherrill - Tammy Wynette)

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You'll have sad times and he'll have good times
Doin' 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 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 the nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man and show 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...
