[ Ronnie Shannon ]

If you want my lovin'
If you really do
Don't be afraid, just ask me
And you know I'm gonna give it to you
Oh I do declare (I do), wanna see ya willing
Stretch out your arms and boy you're gonna get it

'Cause I love you
Baby baby baby I love you
Now ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you
Baby baby baby I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

If you feel you wanna kiss me
Go right ahead, I don't mind
All you got to do is snap your fingers
And I'll come runnin', I ain't lyin'
O what'cha want little boy, ya know ya got it
I'll deny myself before I see you without it

'Cause I love you
Baby baby baby I love you
Now ain't no doubt about it
Baby I love you
Baby baby baby I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

Some day you might wanna run away?
Leave me standin' here and cryin'
But if it's all the same to you baby
I'm gonna stop you from sayin' goodbye
Baby I love you (baby, baby)
Baby I need ya (baby, baby)
Baby I want ya (baby, baby)
Baby I love you (baby, baby)
Don't let your neighbors tell you that I don't love you
Don't let your low down friends tell you I don't need you

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

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)
