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

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, uh-uh
I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh...

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

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, uh-uh
I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh...

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

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, uh-uh
I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh...

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