Papa I know you're going to be upset,
Cuz 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 troube deep,
Papa don't preach,
I've been losing sleep,
But I've made up my mind,
I'm keeping my baby
Ooh, ooh I'm gonna keep my baby

He says that he's gonna marry me,
And we can raise a little family,
Maybe we'll be alright,
If we sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up,
Sayin I'm too young,
I don't 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've made up my mind,
I'm keepin my baby,
Ooh, ooh I'm gonna keep my baby

Daddy, daddy if you could only see,
Just how good he's been treating me,
You'll give us your blessing right now,
Cuz 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,
Ooh, ooh I'm gonna keep my baby oooooooh

Don't stop loving me daddy,
I know I'm keeping my baby,
Don't stop loving me daddy,
I know I'm keeping my baby.
