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 suprise
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
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,
Oh lord knows he was
He was
Mmm
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'
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 lord knows he was
The only boy
Who could ever reach me
He was a sweet talkin'
Son of a preacher man
The only boy
Who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one
Who could ever move me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy
Who could ever groove me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was,
Oh yeah yeah yes he was
