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 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 losin' sleep
But I made up my mind
I'm keepin' my baby
Mmmm
I'm gonna keep my baby
Mmmm...

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 tellin' me to give it up
Sayin' 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
Mm
I'm gonna keep my baby, oooh, ohoh

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treatin' me
You'd give us your blessing right now
'Cause we are in love
Yeah, we are in love (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 keepin' my baby
Mm
I'm gonna keep my baby, oooh, ohoh

Papa Don't Preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa Don't Preach
I've been losin' sleep (twice)

Ohoh
I'm gonna keep my baby, mmmm
Don't you stop lovin' me, daddy
I know, I'm, keepin' my baby...
