Bananarama — Preacher Man lyrics

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
(bridge 1)
You’re bad news disguised
Dressed and painted with lies
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 you
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
(bridge 2)
You’re silky words soothe me As they move me To ecstasy
And just as I’m falling
I hear a voice calling
Don’t believe
(bridge 1)
(chorus ad lib)
