Good replies above. I think most of us have struggled with this at least early on. The best advice I ever got (which was from this forum several years ago BTW), was this: we can only consciously think about one thing at a time. You can't think about the next chord change, strum pattern, etc. if you are trying to remember lyrics, and vice versa. Therefore, either the guitar part or the vocal has to be 100% automatic (there's the "more practice" part). Usually that's the guitar part, but I guess for some exceptional singers it could be the other way around.
Just trying to elaborate on WHY "more practice" is the right answer. Hope that helps.
