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

　　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 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

　　（chorus）

　　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

　　（repeat）

　　Oh I'm gonna keep my baby ooh

　　Don't you stop loving me daddy

　　I know I'm keeping my baby
