Bananarama Preacher Man Lyrics

Preacher Man Lyrics

Its like a magic 

I've got to have it 

Whatever lies out of reach of me 

And to despise it 

Just magnifies it 

Can't obliterate the need 



(bridge 1) 

You're bad news disguised 

Dressed and painted with lies 

But I just can't see 

When truth is concealed 

How the danger appeals 

But my conscience sees 



(chorus) 

I heard it from the preacher man 

He said leave that boy alone 

He's no good for you 

I heard it from the preacher man 

He said heaven must have sent you 

But the devil's gonna get you 

He's gonna do it for you 



You're like a black cat 

Who always knows that 

It's life is a mystery 

You mesmerise me 

And then you hypnotise me 

'Til obsession devours me 



(bridge 2) 

You're silky words soothe me 

As they move me 

To ecstasy 

And just as I'm falling 

I hear a voice calling 

Don't believe 



(chorus) 



(bridge 1) 



(chorus ad lib)
