Lyrics and translation The Boswell Sisters - Why Don't You Practice What You Preach?
You're
always
tellin'
me
Tu
me
dis
toujours
What
I
ought
to
do
Ce
que
je
devrais
faire
Tellin'
me
it's
wrong
to
look
at
somebody
new
Tu
me
dis
que
c'est
mal
de
regarder
quelqu'un
de
nouveau
You're
tellin'
me
and
I'm
tellin'
you
Tu
me
dis
ça,
et
je
te
dis
Why
don't
you
practice
what
you
preach?
Pourquoi
ne
mets-tu
pas
en
pratique
ce
que
tu
prêches
?
You're
always
tellin'
me
Tu
me
dis
toujours
To
wait
until
you
call
D'attendre
que
tu
appelles
I
wait
and
wait
and
wait
J'attends,
j'attends,
j'attends
And
then
you
don't
call
at
all
Et
tu
n'appelles
jamais
You're
callin'
me,
well
I'm
callin'
you
Tu
m'appelles,
eh
bien
je
t'appelle
Why
don't
you
practice
what
you
preach?
Pourquoi
ne
mets-tu
pas
en
pratique
ce
que
tu
prêches
?
You
tell
me
I'm
your
sugar
pie...
Tu
me
dis
que
je
suis
ta
petite
amie...
Yeah!
Ouais !
You
swear
you'll
never
tell
a
lie
Tu
jures
que
tu
ne
mentiras
jamais
Yeah!
Ouais !
You
even
say
you
hope
to
die
Tu
dis
même
que
tu
espères
mourir
Well
how
come
you
say
it
with
your
fingers
crossed.
Alors
pourquoi
le
dis-tu
avec
les
doigts
croisés.
You're
always
askin'
me
Tu
me
demandes
toujours
To
name
that
certain
day
De
nommer
ce
jour
précis
Then
you
change
the
subject
Puis
tu
changes
de
sujet
And
you
think
it's
OK
Et
tu
trouves
ça
normal
You're
askin'
me,
well
I'm
askin'
you
Tu
me
le
demandes,
eh
bien
je
te
le
demande
Why
don't
you
practice
what
you
preach?
Pourquoi
ne
mets-tu
pas
en
pratique
ce
que
tu
prêches
?
(Bridge)
(Pont)
I've
had
a
lot
of
time
to
do
some
thinkin'
J'ai
eu
beaucoup
de
temps
pour
réfléchir
Stayin'
home
alone
every
night...
Restant
seule
à
la
maison
tous
les
soirs...
And
now
I'm
takin'
time
to
view
some
talkin'
Et
maintenant
je
prends
le
temps
de
regarder
certains
discours
Separatin'
wrong
from
right!
Séparant
le
bien
du
mal !
Now,
you're
always
tellin'
me
Maintenant,
tu
me
dis
toujours
What
I
ought
to
do
Ce
que
je
devrais
faire
Tellin'
me
it's
