Dusty Springfield - Son Of A Preacherman

Billy-ray was a preachers son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talking
Thats when Billy would take me walking
A-through the backyard we'd go walking
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, mmm, yes he was

Being good isnt 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, lord knows he was

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin kisses from me on the sly
Taking time to make time
Telling me that he's all mine
Learnin from each others knowing
Lookin to see how much weve 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
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
Sweet-lovin son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me
