Son Of A Preacher Man — текст песни (Natalie Merchant)

[ John Hurley/Ronnie Wilkins ]

Billy Ray was a preacher`s son
And when his daddy`d visit he`d come along
When they gathered round and started talking
That`s when Billy would take me walking,
all through the backyard we`d go walking,
then he`d looked into my eyes,
lord knows to my surprise

CHORUS:
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
And the only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, was, yes he was

Bein` good isn`t always easy,
no matter hard I try,
when he started sweet talking to me,
he`d come and tell my everything is allright
he`d kiss it down and everything`s allright
Can I get away again tonight ?

Chorus

Oh yes he was
How will I remember
The look within 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`
Looking 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 boy who could ever reach me
Was the sweet-talkin` son of a preacher man
