Son Of A Preacher Man Lyrics - Aretha Franklin

Billy Ray was a preacher's son 

And when his daddy would visit he'd come along 

When they gathered around the party talkin' 

That's when Billy would take me walkin' 

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, yeah he was, oh he was, hey 

(Halleluiah, halleluiah, halleluiah)

Bein' good isn't always easy 

No matter how hard the try 

When he started sweet-talkin' to me 

He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right" 

Baby, baby everything is all right 

Can I sneak away again tonight now? 

The only one who could ever reach me 

(Was the son of a preacher man) 

I tell you that the only boy who could ever teach me 

(Was the son of a preacher man) 

Yes he was, yeah he was, oh he was 

(Halleluiah, halleluiah, halleluiah) 

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 of mine now 

Learnin' from each other's knowin' 

Lookin' to see how much we've grown and
