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 losing sleep
But I've made up
my mind
I'm keeping my baby
Oh I'm gonna
keep my baby
oooh
He said that he's
going to marry me
so we could
raise a little family
Maybe we'll be alright
it's a sacrifice
But my friends
keep telling me
to give him up
Saying I'm too young
I ought to live it up
But 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
Oh I'm gonna
keep my baby
oooh
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've made up
my mind
I'm keeping my baby
Oh I'm gonna
keep my baby
oooh
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
oooh
Don't stop
loving me daddy
I'm gonna keep my baby
Oooh
I'm gonna keep my baby
ooh
