I won't smoke and I won't drink, but here's some blues to make y'all think:

I've got a kind-hearted woman, She'll do anything in this world for me(2x)
But these evil-hearted women, Man they will not let me be.

I love my baby, my baby don't love me
But I really love that woman, can't stand to let her be
.

Now there ain't but the one thing, give Sleepy Jon the blues
I get worried about the way you treat me, and tired of the things you do
And, oh--babe, my life don't feel the same
It breaks my heart, when you call Mister so-and-so's name
.

I got a kind hearted woman, she studies evil all the time (2x)
It's evil to kill me baby, or just to have it on your mind.

Someday, someday, I will shake your hand goodbye (2x)
Well I know you didn't love me, but won't you please tell me the reason why?

From Robert Johnson, as altered by me - I think this song sums up well the duality of feelings between a man and woman - you can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em. And of course, any resemblance between this song and my own marriage is strictly coincidental.

My wife made me say that.
