Papa I know you're going to be upset
Cos 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 nees 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

*Chorus*
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
Mmm mmm
I'm gonna keep my baby
Mmmmmm

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

But my friends keep tellin me
To give him up
Saying i'm too young,
I oughtta live it up

What I need right now
Is some good advice

Please...

*Chorus*
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,
I'm gonna keep my baby
Ohhhhh

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
Cos 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

But i've made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby
Mmm mmm

*Chorus* (x2)
Papa don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep-aca
