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

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

Ooh, I'm gonna keep my baby, oh

He says that he's going to marry me

And 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 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 made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby

Ooh, 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

Ooh, I'm gonna keep my baby, oh

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
