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
