Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics - 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 talkin' 

That's when Billy would take me walkin' 

A-through the backyard 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, yes he was.

Being 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 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 

(Ooh...) Lord knows he was 

(Yes 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 knowing 

Lookin' to see how much we're growin' 

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 

Ooh, yes he was. 

The only one who could ever reach me 

He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man. 

The only one who could ever teach me 

I guess it was the son of a preacher man. 

The only one who could ever move me 

Sweet talking son of the preacher man 

The only one who could ever move me 

Was the son of the preacher man
