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
1.
You always taught me right from wrong I need your help daddy, please be strong
I maybe 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 keeping my ba-by
Oh I?m gonna keep my ba-by
2.
He says that he?s going to marry me we can raise a little family
The baby will be allright if we sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me to give it up saying I?m to young I ought to live it up
What I need right now is some good advice please

Daddy, daddy if you could only see just how good he?s been treating me

Papa don?t preach I?ve been losing sleep
