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 maybe 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 keeping my ba-by Oh I'm gonna keep my ba-by
He says that he's going to marry me we can raise a little family
The baby will be allright if we sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me to give it up saying I'm to young I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice please
Daddy, daddy if you could only see just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing I know 'cause 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
