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...
