Well, you can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em   Yet there's something mighty necessary 'bout 'em   A woman will give you the blues   She'll have you pullin' out your hair   And wearin' out your walkin' shoes      Well they just keep naggin', until your head is saggin'   There ain't a wink a-sleepin', when they startin' weepin'   'Cause a woman will give you the blues   She'll have you bitin' off your nails   And wearin' out your walkin' shoes      It's a losin' gamble, when you start to ramble   Oh lordy, how you miss 'em, and you long to kiss 'em   'Cause a woman will give you the blues   She'll have you tossin' in your sleep   And wearin' out your walkin' shoes      Well you can't live with 'em, you can't live without 'em   It's better to talk with 'em, than to talk about 'em   'Cause a woman will give you the blues   She'll have you talkin' to yourself   And wearin' out your walkin' shoes
