Papa Don’t Preach

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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, I'm keeping my baby Ooh, I'm gonna keep my baby, oh [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [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, I'm keeping my baby Ooh, I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh [Bridge] 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 [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, I'm keeping my baby Ooh, I'm gonna keep my baby, oh [Outro] 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
