[Intro]
Uh-huh
Ooh

[Verse 1]
Billy Ray was a 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 backyard, we'd go walkin'
Then, he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

[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
Yes, he was, he was
Ooh, yes, he was, uh

[Verse 2]
Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try (Ooh)
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
Kiss and tell me everything is alright (Ooh)
Kiss and tell me everything is alright (Ooh)
Can we get away again tonight?
[Chorus]
The only boy who 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
The only boy 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
Said, said the only boy who could 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 who could ever reach me
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man, oh
[Outro]
Said, yes, he was
He was the only one
Who could ever reach me, yeah
Was the son of a
Preacher man, oh
Ooh
Uh-huh, ooh
Woo
