Lyrics Putting It On - The Boswell Sisters

Look out I′m going
I'm tired of showing
You the right from the wrong
You think you′re smart
You'll be left in the dark
If you keep on putting it on

After my preaching
And all my teaching
You're changing right along
You better heed
Slow up on your speed
And stop that putting it on

Just remember that I wasn′t a fair weather friend
But listen brother from now on
I′ll be shouting 'I knew you when′

Your house was scratched up
Clothes torn and patched up
Still we got along
Can't understand
How any man
Could keep on putting it on
You better listen and
Stop that putting it on

Remember
When we met you had nothing at all
Your money′s gone and changed you around
When you haven't got it
You just wait and see
Your so-called friends′ll turn you down

Look out I'm going
Said I'm tired of showing
You the right from the wrong

After all my preaching
And all my teaching
Why did you
Keep putting it on

I wasn′t just a sunny weather friend
But brother from now on I′ll be shouting
'I knew you when′

You didn't have a dollar
Remember when I′m gone
You lost your only friend
By putting it on

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Better stop that putting it on
