Papa I know you're going to be upset
Cos I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I'm not a baby
You always taught me right from wrong
I need your help daddy
Please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what i'm saying
The one you warned me all about
The one you said
I could do without
We're in an awful mess
And I don't mean maybe please
Papa don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
But i've made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby
Mmm mmm
I'm gonna keep my baby
Mmm mmm
He says that he's going to marry me we can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be alright
It's a sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me
To give it up
Saying i'm too young
I oughtta live it up
What I need right now
Is some good advice
Please
Papa don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
But I've made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby mm mm
I'm gonna keep my baby
Ooooh ohoh

Daddy daddy
If you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
Cos we are in love
We are in love
So please
Papa don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
But I made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby
Mmm mmm
I'm gonna keep my baby
Ooooh ohoh
Papa don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
But i made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby mm mm
