[LL Cool J]
  Yeah this one goes out to all the ladies in the house
    [LL Cool J]
  I need two to stand by me when the chips are down and
  Stick around while I defend my crown and
  No sell-out, the chip is too rough and
  I'll blow your skin to sofa, leave your mind to be tough
  And I might seem rough but life is much rougher
  To see success sometimes you gotta suffer
  I need a woman that's stronger than material needs
  And isn't motivated by green
  Dry my tear-drops and feelin' my pain and
  Watchin' my back while I strive to maintain and
  Makin' love like a medicine doctor
  I knew that she was bad from the day that I clocked her
    [Chorus: Dawn Greene]
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your baby
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your baby
    [LL Cool J]
  My enemies come and my break-bread's tough but
  You recognize game from your eyes and walkin'
  Baby ain't no way I'll let the vultures attack you
  So I'll teach you the game and tell you how to react to
  The conversation, sexy vibration
  Visual stimulation, slick persuasion
  Times are hard, I need a woman that rolls by God
  And the only man she loves is Todd
  But will you be around when the raindrops fallin'
  Or could it be you never loved me at all and
  I need a trooper, a soldier, a agent
  I need someone who can roll with my arrangement
  The reap reducer factor and
  The Queen of the Universe, not an actor and
  Standin' by her man till the end
  Not only as a lover but a friend
    [Chorus: Dawn Greene]
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your baby (yeah)
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your baby
    [LL Cool J]
  Man, do things get better?
  We can look back at the whole aerators
  Remember the times when they said I couldn't do it
  But I was rougher than rough and baby you knew it and
  You held back when your loved jobs called in
  You had faith when they said they're not callin'
  You understood that what we had was good
  you stood by your man like a real queen should
  That's why now I got you livin' your dream as
  A beautiful wisdom, a part of my team and
  As long as I live on this earth
  Anything you want is what your loyalty's worth
    [Chorus: Dawn Greene]
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your baby
  (I wanna send this one out to all the ladies in the house)
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your man
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your baby, (word)
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your man (peace)
  You got to stand by your baby
  You got to stand by your man
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your baby
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your man
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your baby
  You got to stand by your man
  You got to stand by your baby
  Stand by your, man, stand by your man
  You got to stand by your man
