Papa I know you're
going to be upset
Cause 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 maybe 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
loosing sleep
But I made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby
Ooh~ I'm gonna keep
my baby ooh~
He says that
he's going to marry me
We can raise
a little family
Maybe we'll be
all right
It's a sacrifice
but my friends
Keep telling me
to give it up
Saying I'm too young
I ought to 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 made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby
I'm gonna keep
My baby
ooh~ ooh~

Daddy daddy if you
could only see
Just how good
he's been treating me
You'd give us
your blessing
Right now
cause 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
Ooh~ papa don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
Papa don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
Oh~ I'm gonna keep
my baby ooh~
Don't you stop
loving me daddy
I know
I keep my baby~
