Stand By My Woman Lyrics

There were times I wasn’t kind
And there were times I wasn’t even around
And there were times I made you cry
So many times I had to say goodbye
When you want to talk
I’m on the phone
But now baby, yeah, I am here for you alone

I’m gonna stand by my woman now
I’m gonna stand by my woman now
‘Cause I can’t live my life alone
Without a home

There were times I didn’t understand
And there were times I wouldn’t hold your hand
But baby now I’m here for you
‘Cause baby, yeah, I am so in love with you

I’m gonna stand by my woman now
I’m gonna stand by my woman now
‘Cause I can’t live my life alone
Without a home

I’m gonna stand by my woman now
I’m gonna stand by my woman now
‘Cause I can’t live my life alone
Without a home, yeah

I’m gonna stand, stand, by my woman now
I’m gonna stand by my woman now
‘Cause I can’t live my life alone
Without a home

Stand, yeah, by, yeah my woman now
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah ...
I’m gonna stand by my woman now
‘Cause I can’t live my life alone
Without a home X2

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is such a sweet song that I can't help but listen to it over and over. This song is about a guy and a girl who have had a lot of relationship problems but no matter what the guy is going to stand by her because he still loves her.
