[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
