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... |
