Keep giving all the love you can, stand by your man
And something warm to come to when nights are cold and lonely
I knew when your mama passed away
That might make me and you both feel uncomfortable
'Cause after all he's just a man
You'll have bad times and he'll have good times
Keep giving all the love you can, stand by your man
So I thought that the best thing to do
Even though he's hard to understand
I hope that you will understand 'cause she did stand by her man
Doin' things that you don't understand
Stand by your man give him two arms to cling to
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 tell the world you love him
That someday I have to explain the things to you
Well honey that's the only way
Stand by your man give him two arms to cling to
And if you love him be proud of him
But if you love him you'll forgive him
Is to sing you this song your mama used to sing
Stand by your man and tell the world you love him
That daddy knows how to answer your question
