Why Don't You Practice What You Preach - The Boswell Sisters/Jimmy Dorsey/Martha Boswell/Connee Boswell
You're always telling me
What I ought to do
Telling me it's wrong to look at somebody new
You're telling me and I'm telling you
Why don't you practice what you preach
You're always telling me
To wait until you call
I wait and wait and wait
And then you don't call at all
You're calling me well I'm calling 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
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 talking
Separatin' wrong from right
Now you're always telling me
What I ought to do
Telling me it's wrong to look at somebody new
You're telling me well I'm telling you
Why don't you practice what you preach
Always telling me to wait until you call
I wait and wait and wait
And you don't call at all
You're calling me well I'm calling you
Why why don't you practice what you preach
You tell me that I'm your sugar pie
You swear that 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 telling me I'm telling you
Why don't you practice what you preach
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you practice what you preach
Why don't you tell me
Why don't you practice what you preach
Why don't you practice what you preach
