Son of a Preacher Man lyrics
Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
and when his daddy would visit he'd come along
when they gathered around and started talkin'
that's when Billy would take me walkin'
out through the back yard 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, ye, he was, ooh, he was
bein' 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 sneak 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, ye, he was, ooh, 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 knowin'
lookin' to see how much we're growinâ
the only boy who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
I tell ya now the only boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man
yes he was, he was, oh yes he was
he was the sweet talkin' son of a preacher man (a few times fading)
