Why Don't You Practice What You Preach?

Lyrics

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?!
