Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So what do you want to do, I'm here baby
I'm ready baby I'm waiting on you
Believe me, I am patiently
Waiting on you
[Verse 2]
Girl there's something wrong with me
Every time I'm alone with you
You keep talking about you loving me
Hey babe, you're foreplay just blows my mind
So why don't we stop all the talking girl
Why don't we stop wasting time?
[Verse 3]
I've had my share of lovers
Some say I'm damn good
And if you think you can turn me out
Baby I wish that you would
[Verse 4]
'Cause you keep telling me this and telling me that
You say once I'm with you, I'll never go back
You say there's a lesson that you want to teach
Well here I am baby, practice what you preach
[Verse 5]
Here I am baby, practice what you preach
[Verse 6]
Girl it's just you and me
So many things I could do to you and so many way I can please
Hey, hey, hey it's you're move girl
Why don't you start turning down the lights
And show me just what you can do?
[Verse 7]
I've had my share of lovers
Some of them are damn good
But if you think you can turn me out
Girl I wish that you would
[Verse 8]
'Cause you keep telling me this and telling me that
You say once I'm with you, I'll never go back
I know there's a lesson that you want to teach
Here I am baby, practice what you preach
[Verse 9]
Well here I am baby, practice what you preach
[Verse 10]
Ladies baby, baby, baby
We're wasting time precious time
All this talk about what you're wanna do
And how you're gonna do it to me
Come on practice what you preach
[Verse 11]
Now I've had my share of lovers
Some say I'm damn good
But if you think you can turn me out
Girl I just wish that you would
[Verse 12]
'Cause you keep telling me this and telling me that
You say once I'm with you, I'll never go back
You say there's a lesson that you want to teach
Here I am baby, practice what you preach
[Verse 13]
Well I'm still waiting, practice what you preach
[Verse 14]
Here I am practice on me
[Verse 15]
Girl I'm still waiting, practice what you preach
[Verse 16]
Here I am girl practice on me
[Verse 17]
Well I'm here baby, practice what you preach
[Verse 18]
Well I'm still waiting, practice what you preach
