Letra


I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you've started something
Oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
It happens to be true
I only want to be with you

It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
Oh, look what has happened with just one kiss
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true
I only want to be with you

You stopped and smiled at me
And asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance
Now listen honey
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you've started something
Oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Oh, oh, you stopped and you smiled at me
And asked if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
And I didn't stand a chance
Now hear me tell you
I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you've started something
Oh, can't you see?
That ever since we met
You've had a hold on me
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you
I said no matter, no matter what you do
I only want to be with you

Dusty Springfield - Son of a Preacher Man

Opiniones

Ritmo pegadizo, una voz potente y un toque de blues, eso es lo que contiene una canción tan buena como esta.

Son of Preacher Man


Son of a Preacher Man es una canción grabada por Dusty Springfield en 1968, incluida en su álbum Dusty in Memphis.
Escrita por John Hurley y Ronnie Wilkins, el tema fue inicialmente ofrecido a Aretha Franklin, quien no aceptó la oferta. Fue tras escuchar la canción de Dusty Springfield, cuando Aretha Franklin decidió grabar su propia versión dos años después. El éxito alcanzado por entonces por la grabación de Springfield no fue logrado por la versión de Aretha, incluida en su álbum This Girl's In Love With You.
La versión original de Dusty Springfield fue producida por Jerry Wexler, Tom Dowd y Arif Mardin para la compañía discográfica Atlantic Records, y se convirtió en un éxito internacional. Fue el tema de referencia de Dusty Springfield durante casi 20 años, hasta que grabó con Pet Shop Boys el single What Have I Done to Deserve This?, en el año 1987.

Letra


Billy Ray was a preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered around and started talkin'
That's when Billy would take me walkin'
Out through the back yard we'd go walkin'
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows, to my 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, he was, ooh, yes he was

<brief instrumental interlude>

Bein' good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin' to me
He'd come'n tell me "Everything is all right"
He'd kiss and tell me "Everything is all right"
Can I get away again tonight?

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, he was, ooh, yes he was (yes he was)

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

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, he was, oh yes he was

(The only one who could ever reach me)
He was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
(The only boy who could ever teach me)
Was the son of a preacher man

(The only one who could ever reach me)
Was the sweet-talkin' son of a preacher man
