wearin' out your walking shoes

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
