Papa I know youre going to be upset
Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
Im 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 Im saying
The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could do without
Were in an awful mess
And I dont mean maybe, please
Papa dont preach Im in trouble deep
Papa dont preach, Ive been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, Im keeping my baby, hm
Im gonna keep my baby, hm
He says that hes going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe well be all right
Its a sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying Im too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please
Papa dont preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa dont preach, Ive been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, Im keeping my baby, hm
Im gonna keep my baby, ooh ooh
Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good hes been treating me
Youd give it some blessing right now
Cause we are in love
We are in love (in love), so please (so)
Papa dont preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa dont preach, Ive been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, Im keeping my baby, hm
Im gonna keep my baby, ooh ooh
Papa dont preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa dont preach, Ive been losing sleep
Papa dont preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa dont preach, Ive been losing sleep
Papa dont preach (Oh, Im gonna keep my baby)

Papa dont preach (Dont you stop loving me daddy)
Papa dont preach (I know Im keeping my baby)
