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 Imay be young ay 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
Chorus:
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, oh I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm
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
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
Papa don't preach, i'm in trouble deep Papa don't preach, i've been losing sleep (repeat)
Oh, i'm gonna keep my baby, ooh Don't you stop loving me daddy I know, i'm keeping my baby
