Bananarama - Preacher Man lyrics

Its like a magic

I've got to have it

Whatever lies out of reach of me

And to despise it

Just magnifies it

Can't obliterate the need

Bad news disguised

Dressed and painted with lies

But I just can't see (but I just can't see)

When truth is concealed

How the danger appeals

But my conscience sees

I heard it from the preacher man

He said leave that boy alone

He's no good for you

I heard it from the preacher man

He said heaven must have sent you

But the devil's gonna get you

He's gonna do it for youuuuuu

You're like a black cat

Who always knows that

It's life is a mystery

You mesmerise me

And then you hypnotise me

'Til obsession devours me

Silky words soothe me

As they move me

To ecstasy (To ecstasy)

And just as I'm falling

I hear a voice calling

Don't believe

I heard it from the preacher man

He said leave that boy alone

He's no good for you

I heard it from the preacher man

He said heaven must have sent you

But the devil's gonna get you

He's gonna do it for youuuuuu

Bad news disguised

Dressed and painted with lies

But I just can't see (but I just can't see)

When truth is concealed

How the danger appeals

But my conscience sees

I heard it from the preacher man

He said leave that boy alone

He's no good for you

I heard it from the preacher man

He said heaven must have sent you

But the devil's gonna get you

I heard it from the preacher man

He said leave that boy alone

He's no good for you

I heard it from the preacher man

He said heaven must have sent you

But the devil's gonna get you

I heard it from the preacher man

He said leave that boy alone

He's no good for you

I heard it from the preacher man

He said heaven must have sent you

But the devil's gonna get you
