Son Of A Preacher Man — текст песни (Aretha Franklin)

Billy Ray was apreacher`s son
And when his daddy would visit he`d come along
When they gathered around and started talkin`
That`s when Billy would take me walkin`
Out through the back yard 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

Bein` good isn`t always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin` to me
He`d come`n 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, yes 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 knowin`
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, oh yes he was

(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin` son of a preacher man
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
Was the son of a preacher man

(The only one who could ever reach me)
Was the sweet-talkin` son of a preacher man
