Son Of A Preacher Man

Dusty Springfield

Billy-Ray was a preacher's son 
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along 
When they gathered round and started talking 
Cousin Billy would take me walking
A-through the back yard we'd go walking 
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, mmm yes he was 

Being good isn't always easy 
No matter how hard I try 
When he started sweet talking 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, Lord knows he was 

How well I remember 
The look that was in his eyes 
Stealing kisses from me on the sly 
Taking time to make time 
Telling me that he's all mine 
Learning from each other's knowing 
Looking 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, oh, yes he was 

He was the sweet talking son of a preacher man 
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man 
Sweet loving son of a preacher man
