(Billy Sherrill and Tammy Wynette)

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,
'Cos 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 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
