Testo Son of a Preacher - Aretha Franklin
Testo della canzone Son of a Preacher (Aretha Franklin), tratta dall'album The Atlantic Singles Collection 1967-1970 (Remastered)
Billy Ray was a preacher's son
When his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered 'round the parlor talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
No, no surprise, 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, hallelujah
Yeah, he was, hallelujah
Oh, he was, hallelujah
Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard you try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
Stop it, baby, baby, everything is alright
Stop it, can I sneak away again tonight now?
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
Oh, he was, hallelujah
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 in
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, hallelujah
Yeah, he was, hallelujah
Oh, he was, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Son of a preacher man, hallelujah
Hallelujah, oh, now, yeah
Son of a preacher man, hallelujah
Hallelujah, yeah
Son of a preacher man, hallelujah
For the son now, hallelujah for the son now
Son of a preacher man, hallelujah
He's the only boy, yes, he is
