Lyrics Putting It On - The Boswell Sisters

Putting It On

Look out I’m goin'
I’m tired of showin' you
The right from the wrong
You think it’s smart
You’ll be left I the dark
If you keep on puttin' it on
After my preachin'
And all my teachin'
You’re changin' right along
You’d better heed
Slow up on your speed
And stop that puttin' it on
Just remember that I wasn’t a fair-weather friend
But listen, brother, from now on I’ll be shoutin' «I knew you when»
Your house was scratched up
Closed home and patched up
Still we got along
Can’t understand how any man
Could keep on puttin' on
You’d better listen and stop that puttin' it on
Remember
When we met you had nothing at all
Your money’s gone and changed you around
When you’ve haven’t got it
You just wait and see
Your so-called friends will turn you down
Look out I’m goin'
Said I’m tired of showin' you
The right from the wrong
After all my preachin'
And all my teachin'
Why did you keep puttin' it on?
I wasn’t just a sunny-weather friend
But brother, from now on I’m shoutin «I knew you when»
You didn’t have a dollar
Remember when I’m gone
You lost your only friend
By puttin' it on
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Better stop that puttin' it on!
