Papa I know you're going to be upset
Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
Im 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 Im saying

The one you warned me about
The one you said I could do without
Were in an awful mess, and I don't mean maybe, please

Papa don't preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, Ive been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, oh, Im keeping my baby
Ooh, ooh, Im going to keep my baby, ooh

He saws that he's going to marry me
We can raise a little family
Maybe well be alright
Its a sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying Im too young, I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice, please

Papa don't preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, Ive been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, oh, Im keeping my baby
Ooh, ooh, Im going to keep my baby, ooh

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
Youd give us a blessing right now
Cause we are in love, we are in love, so please

Papa don't preach, Im in trouble deep
Papa don't preach, Ive been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, oh, Im keeping my baby
Ooh, ooh, Im going to keep my baby, ooh

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