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 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, oh, I`m keeping my baby
Ooh, Ooh, I`m going to keep my baby, ooh
He saws that hes going to marry me
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
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, oh, I`m keeping my baby
Ooh, Ooh, I`m going to keep my baby, ooh
Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he`s been treating me
You`d give us a 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, oh, I`m keeping my baby
Ooh, Ooh, I`m going to keep my baby, ooh
Don`t stop loving me daddy
I know, I`m keeping me baby
Don`t stop loving me daddy
I know, I`m keeping my baby
