Son of a Preacher Man

Billy Ray was a preacher's son
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 backyard, we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
And Lord knows, to my surprise

The only boy 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 (ooh), he was
Oh, yes, he was

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talking to me
Come and tell me everything's all right
Kiss and tell me everything's all right
Gonna sneak away again tonight

The only boy 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 (ooh), he was
Oh, yes, he was

Ah, 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 moment
Looking to see how much we've grown up

The only boy 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 (ooh), he was
Oh, yes, he was

The only boy 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 (ooh), he was
Oh, yes, he was

The only boy that could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
