[Spoken Intro]
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 1]
Girl, there's something wrong with me
Every time I'm alone with you
You keep talking 'bout you loving me
Hey babe, your foreplay just blows my mind
So why don't we stop all the talking, girl
Why don't we stop wasting time?

[Pre-Chorus]
I've had, my share of lovers
And some say I'm damn good
But if you think you can turn me out
Baby, I wish that you would

[Chorus]
'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
I'm telling you this, I'm telling you that
'Cause once I've been with you, you'll never go back
There is a lesson that I'm gonna teach
Well, here I am, baby, practice what you preach

[Verse 2]
Girl, it's just you and me, so many things
I could do to you and so many ways I can please
Hey, hey, hey, it's your move, girl
Why don't you start turning down the lights
And show me just what you can do?

[Pre-Chorus]
Hey baby, I've had my share of lovers
Some of them were damn good
But if you think you can turn me out
Girl, I just wish that you would

[Chorus]
'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
Well, here I am, baby, practice what you preach
I'm saying this because it's a fact (Is it?)
Once I've been with you, you'll never go back (Really?)
There is a lesson that I'm gonna teach
Well, here I am, baby, practice what you preach

[Spoken Bridge]
Ladies, baby, baby, baby
We're wasting time, precious time
All this talk about what you're gonna do
And how you're gonna do it to me
Come on, practice what you preach

[Pre-Chorus]
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
'Cause you keep
Oh, you just keep
Nah...

[Chorus]
You just 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 you wanna teach
Well, here I am baby, practice what you preach
I'm saying this because it's a fact (Is it?)
Once I've been with you, you'll never go back (Really?)
There is a lesson that I'm gonna teach
Well, I'm still waiting, practice what you preach
I'm telling you this, I'm telling you that
'Cause once I've been with you, you'll never go back (Show me)
There is a lesson that I'm gonna teach
Here I am, practice on me
I'm saying this because it's a fact (Is it?)
Once I've been with you, you'll never go back (Really?)
There is a lesson that I'm gonna teach
Girl, I'm still waiting, practice what you preach
I'm telling you this, I'm telling you that
'Cause once I've been with you, you'll never go back
There is a lesson that I'm gonna teach
Here I am, girl, practice on me
I'm saying this because it's a fact
Once I've been with you, you'll never go back (Really?)
There is a lesson that I'm gonna teach
Well, I'm here, baby, practice what you preach
I'm telling you this, I'm telling you that
'Cause once I've been with you, you'll never go back
There is a lesson that I'm gonna teach
Girl, I'm still waiting, practice what you preach
I'm saying this because it's a fact (Is it?)
Once I've been with you, you'll never go back (Really?)
I'm gonna teach
Here I am, practice what you preach
