Dusty Springfield

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 talkin'

That's when Billy would take me walkin'

Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'

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, 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 alright

He'd kiss and tell me everything is 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, ooh, Lord knows 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 knowin'

Lookin' to see how much we're growin’

An the only one who could ever reach me

Was a 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 talkin' son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

I kissed the son of a preacher man

The only one who could ever move me

The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man

The only one who could ever groove me

Ahh, ooh, ahh
