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

It's 12.45 on a tuesday
I don't really care what you say
I'm just getting off my face tonight
Cause I'm just tryna live till the weekend
And I don't know
How I'm supposed to breathe when
Everything you say is playing on my mind
You don't know where I've been
And you don't know what I'm drinking
I need a moment to
Think about nothing at all
Oh baby you gotta stop
I see that you're calling
I told you that I ain't picking up
I know that you wanna start
Cause we got our problems
I love you but I just need a night off
It's getting pretty deep in the AM
And I should go home but I'm staying
I'll be sleeping on the cold floor tonight
I hope you'll understand in the morning
This is just my problem that I'm solving
Yeah I got a lot of stuff on my mind
I don't know where I've been
And what the hell am I drinking?
And I can't help but to think yeah
It's all my fault
Oh baby you gotta stop
I see that you're calling
I told you that I ain't picking up
I know that you wanna start
Cause we got our problems
I love you but I just need a night off
Oh one night
Just one night off
Oh baby you gotta stop
I see that you're calling
I told you that I ain't picking up
I know that you wanna start
Cause we got our problems
I love you but I just need a night off
Just one night off
I love you but I just need tonight off
It's 12.45 on a tuesday
I don't really care what you say
I'm just getting off my face tonight

When your day is long
And the night is yours alone
When you're sure you've had enough
Of this life hang on

Don't let yourself go
'Cause everybody cries
And everybody hurts sometimes

Sometimes everything is wrong
Now it's time to sing alone
When your day is long hold on
When you feel like letting go

If you think you've had too much
Of this life hang on
'Cause everybody hurts
To comfort when they're down
Everybody hurts

Oh hang on now
Oh hang on
If you feel like you're alone
No no you're not alone

If you're on your own in this life
The days and nights alone
If you think you've had too much
Of this life hang on

Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody cries
Everybody hurts sometimes
Everybody hurts sometimes

So hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
Hold on hold on
Everybody hurts

Hold on
Everybody hurts

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of Chances before
But I'm not gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
That's how it goes
Cause part of me knows what you're thinkin'

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your Eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

CHORUS:
I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind, I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusions behind
Don't Cry cause I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before

Cause I ain't gonna live anymore
Believing some of the lies
While all of the Signs are deceiving

CHORUS
