Son Of A Preacher Man - Chimène Badi

Billy-Ray was a preacher's 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

When he started sweet-talkin' to me

He'd come and tell me everything is all right

He'd kiss and tell me everything is all right

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, he was

(Ooh...) Lord knows he was

Yes he was

How well I remember

The look that 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 other's 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, he was

Ooh, yes he was

The only one who could ever reach me

He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man

The only boy who could ever teach me

I kissed the son of a preacher man

The only one who could ever move me

The sweet-lovin' son of a preacher man

The only one who could ever groove me

Ahh, ooh, ahh...
