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 around and started talkinThat's when Billy would take me walkinOut through the back yard we'd go walkinThen 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 knowinLookin' to see how much we're growin 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)
