Papa Don't Preach
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 made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby
I'm gonna keep my baby
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
That I'm too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is 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
I'm gonna keep my baby
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, 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
I'm gonna keep my baby
Papa, don't preach
Papa, don't preach
I know I'm gonna keep my baby
Keep my baby
'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 made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby
I'm gonna keep my baby
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
That I'm too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is 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
I'm gonna keep my baby
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, 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
I'm gonna keep my baby
Papa, don't preach
Papa, don't preach
I know I'm gonna keep my baby
Keep my baby
