[Verse 1]
How could you say
That what you're serving at your sermon
Is a choice I've had to make?
Oh, and why would I stay
Stay untied with you when I'm broken
When you're leading me astray?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my darling
The water's run cold
And now that I'm grown
Baby, listen, I need you to know
[Chorus]
'Cause you're a preacher
And I can never, never, never, never get away
And though I try
Still know exactly what to say
I don't need a preacher, teacher, driving me away
So, tell me babe, what made you come here?
You're not from here, look what you've done here, to me
'Cause you're a preacher
And I can never, never, never, never get away
Away from you, baby
[Verse 2]
Now, you don't seem so devout
When you're begging me for forgiveness
When I hear you crying out
But the writing's on the wall
I can trip, oh I can stumble
But you will never see me fall
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my darling
My skin is wearing thin
And time and time again
You keep preaching, I'm not listening
[Chorus]
'Cause you're a preacher
And I can never, never, never, never get away
And though I try
Still know exactly what to say
I don't need a preacher, teacher, driving me away
So, tell me babe, what made you come here?
You're not from here, look what you've done here, to me
'Cause you're a preacher
And I can never, never, never, never get away
Away from you, baby
[Bridge]
You keep preach-
You keep preaching, I'm not listening
You keep preach, preach-
I'm not listening
[Chorus]
'Cause you're a preacher
And I can never, never, never, never get away
And though I try
Still know exactly what to say
I don't need a preacher, teacher, driving me away
So, tell me babe, what made you come here?
You're not from here, look what you've done here, to me
What made you come here?
You're not from here, look what you've done here, to me
[Outro]
'Cause you're a preacher
And I can never, never, never, never get away
Away from you, baby
'Cause you're a preacher
And I can never, never, never, never get away
Away from you, baby
