Papa I know you´re going to be upset,
Cuz 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´ve made up my mind,
I´m keeping my baby
Ooh, ooh I´m gonna keep my baby ooh
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 telling me to give it up,
Sayin I´m too young,
I oughta´ live it up,
What I need right now is some good advice,
Please!
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,

Ooh, ooh I´m gonna keep my baby ooh!
Daddy, daddy if you could only see,
Just how good he´s been treating me,
You´ll give us your blessing right now,
Cuz we are in love,
We are in looooove,
So please!
