Текст песни
Billy-Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit, he'd come along (ooh)
When they gathered round and started talking
That's when Billy would take me walking
Through the backyard, we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only boy who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
He was, he was
Yes, he was
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try (ooh-ooh)
When he started sweet-talking 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 boy who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
He was, he was
Yes, he was (yes, he was)
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealing kisses from me on the sly
Taking time to make time
Telling me that he's all mine
Learning from each other's knowing
Looking to see how much we grow
The only boy who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only one who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
He was, he was
Yes, yes
It was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I love him, I love him
I love him, I love that boy
Sweet-talking son of the preacher man
Sweet-talking son of the preacher man
Sweet-talking son of the preacher man
I love him, I love him
I do, man, I love that boy, yeah
