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
|
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
|
