Jane Voss - Standing Behind a Man lyrics
Behind every man who makes a great name, it’s said that a woman does stand, Faithful and true, willing to do, and play any part in his plan, Oh how many lives have been lived out this way, as somebody else’s right hand? How many women without faces or names, standing behind some man. Once upon a time, I called a man mine, And I waited at his every whim. In worry and fear, cried many a tear In the long nights waiting for him. Oh, the time that I wasted, the love that I lost, Measure it nobody can. I sold my birthright for a warm bed at night To be standing behind some man Now the love of a man is a beautiful thing, A joy and a comfort so fine. But if the lovin’ you crave just makes you a slave, You’re selling yourself down the line. Each person must have their own work to do, Each life its own special plan, And a woman is lost who pays the great cost To be standin’ behind some man. If you take a butterfly by the wing You know it will never more fly. If my life must be some small captive thing, You know that I’d sooner die. Lovers may come and lovers may go, But I only have what I am, And I’d rather be flyin’ lonesome and free Than be standin’ behind some man. You know, I’d rather be flyin’ lonesome and free Than be standing behind some man. |
