And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
Oh, when they gathered round and started talkin'

That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A 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, he was, oh yeah, he was

Oh, 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 they 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, Lord knows he was, yes he was

Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Takin' time to make time, tellin' me, he's all mine
Learnin' from each others knowin'
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 yeah, he was

The only boy who could ever reach me
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Oh yeah, ah hah, oh yeah

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
Oh, when they gathered round and started talkin'
