Dusty Springfield -- Son of a preacher man

Jimmy Ray was a preacher's son
when his daddy would visit he'd come along.
when they gathered 'round the parlor talkin'
cousin Jimmy would take me walkin'
out thru the backyard we'd go walking,
and 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.

Bein' good isn't always easy
no matter how I try.
when started sweet talkin' to me
he'd come'n tell me ev'rything is alright;
kiss and tell me ev'rything is alright,
and "Can I sneak 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.

How well I remember the look that was in his eyes,
stealing kisses from me on the sly,
takin' time to make time, Tellin' me that he's all mine.
learnin' from each others knowin'
and lookin' to see how much we've grown.

And the only one could ever reach me
was the son-of-a preacher man
the only one boy who could ever teach me
was the son of a preacher man,
yes, he was, he was. Ooh.
