Son of a Preacher Man |
| Billy-Ray was a preacher's son |
| And when his daddy would visit he'd come along |
| When they gathered round and started talkin' |
| That's when Billy would take me walkin' |
| A-through the backyard we'd go walkin' |
| Then he'd look into my eyes |
| Lord knows to my surprise: |
| The only one who could ever reach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| The only boy who could ever teach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| Yes he was, he was |
| Ooh, yes he was |
| Being good isn't always easy |
| No matter how hard I try |
| When he started sweet-talkin' to me |
| He'd come and tell me everything is all right |
| He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right |
| Can I get away again tonight? |
| The only one who could ever reach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| The only boy who could ever teach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| Yes he was, he was |
| (Ooh...) Lord knows he was |
| Yes he was |
| How well I remember |
| The look that was in his eyes |
| Stealin' kisses from me on the sly |
| Takin' time to make time |
| Tellin' me that he's all mine |
| Learnin' from each other's knowing |
| Lookin' to see how much we've grown |
| And the only one who could ever reach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| The only boy who could ever teach me |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
| Yes he was, he was |
| Ooh, yes he was |
| The only one who could ever reach me |
| He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man |
| The only boy who could ever teach me |
| I kissed the son of a preacher man |
| The only one who could ever move me |
| The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man |
| The only one who could ever groove me |
| Ahh, ooh, ahh... |
