I guess he was the son of a preacher man
Lookin' to see how much we're growin'
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
Takin' time to make time
Then he'd look into my eyes
Bein' good isn't always easy
Tellin' me that he's all mine
The only boy who could ever teach me
Stealin' kisses from me on the sly
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, Lord knows he was
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
Lord knows to my surprise
He was a sweet talkin' son of a preacher man
Learnin' from each other's knowin'
Was the son of a preacher man
Was a son of a preacher man
The look that was in his eyes
Was the son of a preacher man
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
No matter how hard I try
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, ooh, yes he was
The only one who could ever reach me
When they gathered around and started talkin'
How well I remember
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
Was the son of a preacher man
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
The only one who could ever move me
The only one who could ever reach me
He'd come and tell me everything is alright
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
The only one who could ever groove me
The only one who could ever reach me
The only boy who could ever teach me
Can I get away again tonight?
The only boy who could ever teach me
