Текст песни Son Of A Preacher Man, Dusty Springfield

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

[repeat intro]

Bein good isn t always easy,
No matter hard I try,
When he started sweettalking 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 ?

[repeat chorus]

bridge:
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

coda [repeat to fade]

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

coda [repeat to fade]

The only boy who could ever reach me
Was the sweet-talkin son of a preacher man
