Son of A Preacher Man lyrics by Dusty Springfield |
Show Chords
| 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, |
| Then he'd look into my eyes, |
| Lord knows to my suprise: |
| Chorus: |
| 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. |
| Being good isn't always easy, |
| No matter how hard I tried, |
| When he started sweet talking to me, |
| he'd come tell me everything is alright, |
| he'd kiss and tell me everything is alright, |
| Can I get away again tonight? |
| Repeat Chorus |
| 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 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, he was, oh yes he was. |
| Bridge: |
| x4 |
| The only one who could ever reach me, |
| Was the son of a preacher man |
