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

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 mesmerize me
And then you hypnotize me
'Til obsession devours me

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

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 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

    Never was a fan of Bananarama, but to me this is one of the best tunes ever made. I sing along happily every time it comes around. Great stuff.

  5. j.... ....

    Why this was not pushed in USA

  6. S.... ....

    First time I heard this song, I was at a gay bar in Dallas. Knew right away it was Bananarama. Pop Life is still a fantastic album, and the singles released were all incredible.

  7. R.... W....

    This was their peak period :)

  8. R.... ....

    ....ha-HAAA! does ANYBODY remember this song being played AD NAUSEUM, on the short-lived syndicated TV series by Arsenio Hall, "The Party Machine, with Nia Peeples"?

    ....ha-HAA!! ...this song, "Gonna Make You Sweat", and INXS' "Bitter Tears (Club Mix)" were the ONLY songs they played! It was supposed to represent a nightly, happenin' Club....with 3 songs! THREE SONGS! ...Well, that show got pulled QUICK! >: (

    EVERY DAMN TIME I play this song (...well, at least the Shep Pettibone 12" Club Mix, on my Gym playlist), I remember that TIRED show!! ...ah, Early 1991, come back, COME BACK! 🕴️⏲️

  9. r.... ....

    But the devil's gonna get you
    He's gonna do it for you
