Papa Don't Preach

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

Chorus:

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 oh

I'm gonna keep my baby mmm

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

（chorus）

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

（chorus）

Papa don't preach I'm in trouble deep

Papa don't preach I've been losing sleep

（repeat）

Oh I'm gonna keep my baby ooh

Don't you stop loving me daddy

I know I'm keeping my baby
