"Why Don't You Practice What You Preach" lyrics - 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
You swear you'll never tell a lie
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

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
