Dusty Springfield Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics

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 'round and started talking
that's when billy would take me walking
through the back yard we'd go walking
the he'd look into my eyes
and 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, mmmm yes he was
being good wasn't always easy
no matter how hard i tried
when he started sweet talking to me
he'd come and tell me everything was alright
he'd kiss and tell me everything was alright
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 oh he was yes he was
how well i remember
the look that was in his eyes
stealing kisses from me on 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'd 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
the only one who could ever reach me
he was a sweet talking son of a preacher man
the only boy who could ever teach me
he was the son of a preacher man
the only one who could ever reach me
a sweet talking son of a preacher man
