Lyrics:

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, 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 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 Oh, I’m gonna keep my baby, ooh
Don’t you stop loving me, daddy
I know, I’m keeping my baby
