Aretha Franklin — Son of a Preacher Man

[Verse 1] Billy Ray was a preacher's son And when his daddy would visit he'd come along When they gather 'round the parlour talking That's when Billy would take me walking Through the back yard we'd go walking Then he'd look into my eyes Lord knows, to my surprise [Chorus] 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 (Hallelujah) Yeah, he was (Hallelujah) Ohh, he was (Ohh Hallelujah) [Verse 2] Being good isn't always easy No matter how hard I try When he started sweet-talking to me He keeps 'n tellin' me "Everything is all right" (Sock it to me) Baby baby "Everything is all right" (Ohh Sock it to me) Can I sneak away again tonight now [Chorus] 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 (Hallelujah) Yeah, he was (Hallelujah) Ohh, he was (Haaaa) [Verse 3] Hmmmm 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're growing [Chorus] The only boy 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) Ohh, yes he was (Hallelujah) Yeah, he was (Hallelujah) Ohh, he was (Ohh Hallelujah) Hallelujah (Son of a preacher man, Hallelujah) Hallelujah for the son, now yeah (Son of a preacher man, Hallelujah) Hallelujah, yeah (Son of a preacher man, Hallelujah) For the son, Halle- Hallelujah for the son, now (Son of a preacher man) He was the only boy, yes he is, who could ever reach me (Son of a preacher man) He's the only boy who could ever teach me (Son of a preacher man)
