T Graham Brown - I Tell It Like It Used To Be Lyrics

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman

Giving all your love to just one man.

You'll have bad 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 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 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
