Don't Preach to Me (Live in Christchurch 1982) Lyrics

Sunday afternoon there's a knock at my door
Apologies for disturbing me
He said "You're wondering why strangers are here"
"Why, yes, strange" I said and closed the door

They tried to preach to me
I thought to myself

Just because you know
You think that I should too
Could be good for you
Not so good for me
You can even laugh
At the things you say
But you couldn't see
Individually
Between you and me
We have different needs
To every one of us

There's no religion that I belong to
Not feeling that
I don't believe in you
Want to live my life the way that I want
Don't want to tell you what to do

But don't think I'm narrow minded
But I've heard it all before

Just because you know
You think that I should too
Could be good for you
Not so good for me
You can even laugh
At the things you say
But you couldn't see
Individually
Between you and me
We have different needs
To every one of us

Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?

Just because you know
You think that I should too
Could be good for you
Not so good for me
You can even laugh
At the things you say
But you couldn't see
Individually
Between you and me
We have different needs
To every one of us

Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?

Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
Don't try and preach to me
Don't you think I know?
