So what do you want to do

I'm here, baby, I'm ready, baby

I'm waitin' on you

Believe me, I am patiently waitin' on you

Girls, there's something wrong with me

Every time I'm alone with you

You keep talkin' 'bout you lovin' me

Hey, babe, your foreplay just blows my mind

So why don't we stop all the talkin', girl

Why don't we stop wastin' time

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

'Cause you keep tellin' me this and tellin' me that

You say once I'm with you, I'll never go back

You say there's a lesson that you wanna teach

Well, here I am, baby, practice what you preach

(I'm tellin' you this and tellin' 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

Girl, it's just you and me

So many things I can 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 what just you can do, hey, baby

I've had my share of lovers

Some of them were damn good

But if you think you can turn me out

I wish that you would

'Cause you keep tellin' me this and tellin' me that

You say once I'm with you, I'll never go back

I know there's a lesson that you wanna teach

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

Ladies

Baby, baby, baby

We're wastin' time

Precious time

All this talk about what you wanna do and how you're gonna do it

to me

Come on

Practice what you preach

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

And oh, you just keep tellin' me this and tellin' me that

You say once I'm with you, I'll never go back

Say there's a lesson you wanna teach

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 me this and telling me 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) Do it

(There is a lesson that I'm gonna teach)

Girl, I'm still waiting, practice what you preach, ooh

(I'm telling me this and telling me 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) Ooh, ooh

(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 me this and telling me 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
