Stand By Your Man -- Tammy Wynette

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                                (sing365)


Derided by the Feminist movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s, Wynette in later years defended the song as not a call for women to place themselves second to men, but rather a suggestion that women attempt to overlook their husbands' shortcomings and faults if they truly love them . Hillary Clinton told CBS' 60 Minutes during an interview that she "wasn't some little woman 'standing by my man' like Tammy Wynette."                                    (wikipedia)
