Son Of A Preacher Man - Mono Version

Billy-Ray was a preachers son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered 'round and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
A-through the backyard 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

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try (ooh-ooh)
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come and tell me everything is alright (ooh-ooh)
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright (ooh-ooh)
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 (was), he was (was)
(Ooh) Lord knows he was (yes he was)

How well I remember the look 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 others knowing
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) ooh, yes he was

(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man (was a son of a preacher man)
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
I guess he was son of a preacher man (was a son of a preacher man)
(The only one who could ever move me)
Sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man (was a son of a preacher man)
(The only one who could ever groove me)
Ahh, ooh, yeah (was a son of a preacher man)
(The only one who could ever reach me)
(Was a son of a preacher man)
