"Son Of A Preacher Man (Live)" lyrics - JOSS STONE

[Intro:]
Uh-huh
Ooh

Billy Ray was the 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'
Through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

[Chorus:]
The only one boy 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 (Ooh-ooh)
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
Kiss and tell me "Everything is alright" (Ooh-ooh)
Kiss and tell me "Everything is alright" (Ooh-ooh)
Can I get away again tonight?

[Chorus:]
The only one boy could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Said 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)

[Bridge:]
Said 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

[Chorus:]
The only boy 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
Said yes, he was, he was
Ooh, yes, he was

[Outro:]
The only boy
(The only one who could ever reach me)
Who could ever reach me
(Was the son of a preacher man)
Was the
(The only one who could ever teach me)
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(Was the son of a preacher man)
Said the only boy who could
(The only one who could ever reach me)
Ever reach me
(Was the son of a preacher man)
Was the son of a preacher man
(The only one who could ever teach me)
Was the son of a preacher man
(Was the son of a preacher man)
Said one more
The only boy
(The only one who could ever reach me)
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(Was the son of a preacher man)
The only one who could
(The only one who could ever teach me)
Ever teach me
(Was the son of a preacher man)
Oh-oh
Said yes, he was
He was the only one
Who could ever reach me, yeah
Was the song of a
Preacher man
Oh-hoo-oh-oh
Ooh
Ooh-huh
Ooh
Woo
