Aretha Franklin Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics

Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics

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 sweet-talkin' 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 (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, he was, oh yes he was

(The only one who
could ever reach me)
He was the 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 reach me)
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher
man
