It's 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 needYou'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 seesI 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 youYou're like a black cat
Who always knows that
Its life is a mystery
You mesmerize me
And then you hypnotize me
'Til obsession devours meYou're silky words soothe me
As they move me to ecstasy
And just as I'm falling
I hear a voice calling
Don't believeI 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 youPreacher man, preacher man
Preacher man, preacher man
Preacher man, preacher man
Preacher man, I heard it from thePreacher man, preacher man
Preacher, preacher, preacher
Preacher, preacher, preacher
Preacher, preacher
