Papa Don’t Preach Songtext / Lyric

Papa I know you're going to be upset

I was always your little girl

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, mmm

I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...






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, umm

I'm gonna keep my baby, o-o-h oh



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 (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, umm

I'm gonna keep my baby, o-o-h oh

Papa don't preach

I'm in trouble deep

Papa don't preach

I've been losing sleep

Papa don't preach

I'm trouble deep

Papa don't preach

I've been losing sleep

(papa don't preach) Oh, I'm gonna keep my baby, o-o-h...

(papa don't preach)

(papa don't preach) Don't you stop loving me daddy

(papa don't preach) I know I'm keeping my baby
