Son Of A Preacher Man

Lyrics

Billy-Ray was a preachers 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 (ooh-ooh)
 When he started sweet-talkin' to me
 He'd come and tell me everything is alright (ooh-ooh)
 He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright (ooh-ooh)
 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 (was), he was (was)
 (Ooh) Lord knows he was (yes he was)
 How well I remember the look 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 others 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 (was), he was (was)
 (Ooh) ooh, yes he was
 (The only one who could ever reach me)
 He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man (was a son of a preacher man)
 (The only boy who could ever teach me)
 I guess he was son of a preacher man (was a son of a preacher man)
 (The only one who could ever move me)
 Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man (was a son of a preacher man)
 (The only one who could ever groove me)
 Ahh, ooh, yeah (was a son of a preacher man)
 (The only one who could ever reach me)
 (Was a son of a preacher man)
