Natalie Merchant - Son Of A Preacher Man - Текст песни

[ 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
