The Boswell Sisters - Why Don't You Practice What You Preach? Lyrics

Lyrics Why Don't You Practice What You Preach? - The Boswell Sisters



You're always tellin' me
What I ought to do
Tellin' me it's wrong to look at somebody new
You're tellin' me and I'm tellin' you
Why don't you practice what you preach?
You're always tellin' me
To wait until you call
I wait and wait and wait
And then you don't call at all
You're callin' me, well I'm callin' you
Why don't you practice what you preach?
You tell me I'm your sugar pie...
Yeah!
You swear you'll never tell a lie
Yeah!
You even say you hope to die
Well how come you say it with your fingers crossed.
You're always askin' me
To name that certain day
Then you change the subject
And you think it's OK
You're askin' me, well I'm askin' you
Why don't you practice what you preach?
(Bridge)
I've had a lot of time to do some thinkin'
Stayin' home alone every night...
And now I'm takin' time to view some talkin'
Separatin' wrong from right!
Now, you're always tellin' me
What I ought to do
Tellin' me it's wrong to look at somebody new
You're tellin' me, well I'm tellin' you
Why don't you practice what you preach?
Always tellin' me to wait until you call
I wait and wait and wait
And you don't call at all...
You're callin' me, well I'm callin' you
Why, why don't you practice what you preach?
You tell me I'm your sugar pie
You swear you'll never tell a lie
You even say that you hope to die
How come you say it with your fingers crossed?
You're always askin' me
To name that certain day
Then you change the subject
And you think it's OK
You're tellin' me, I'm tellin' you
Why don't you practice what you preach?
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you practise what you preach?
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you practise what you preach?
Why don't you practise what you preach?!
