Yeah daddy said son i'm sorry  You and Shiela ain't getting along  And if she's so dead set on leaving you boy  Why ain't she already gone  Yeah you better break out some sweet talking  Because I promise you you're gonna miss her  And I know what I'd do if my baby left me  Pack up my things and go with her     You don't stay with the one you can't live with  It's the one you can't live without  It's the one that's got you tore up in pieces, boy  It's the one you keep talking about  Prides a tough pill to swallow  It'll leave you lonely and cold and bitter  So what you need to do if she's gonna leave you  You better pack up and go with her    Daddy said son I'm through preaching  I've said all I'm gonna say  Now if you love her as much as I think you do  You're a fool if she gets away  She can go anywhere that she wants to  Don't give up, no don't quit her  Do like I did when your momma left me  Hell, I just packed up and went with her    You don't stay with the one you can't live with  It's the one you can't live without  It's the one that's got you tore up in pieces, boy  It's the one you keep fretting about  Prides a tough pill to swallow  It'll leave you lonely and cold and bitter  So what you need to do if she's gonna leave you  You better pack up and go with her    You don't stay with the one you can't live with  It's the one you can't live without  It's the one that's got you tore up in pieces, boy  It's the one you keep crying about  Prides a tough pill to swallow  It'll leave you lonely and cold and bitter  So what you need to do if she's gonna leave you  You better pack up and go with her    Yeah I know what I did when my baby left me  I packed up my things and went with her    these lyrics are submitted by Nutmeg
