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
yes he was
bein’ good isn’t always easy
no matter how hard i try
when he started sweettalkin’ to me
he’d come’n 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
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 knowin’
lookin’ to see how much we’ve 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 was
he was was
ooh yes he was
the only one who could ever reach me
he was the sweettalkin’ 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 sweetlovin’ son of a preacher man
the only one who could ever groove me
was the son of a preacher man
the only one who could ever reach me
was the son of a preacher man
