1. Papa I know you're going to be upset, 'cause I was always your little girl,

    You always taught me right from wrong,
                                          C
    I need your help, daddy please be strong.

2.  He says that he's going to marry me, we can raise a little family,

                    D                            - C
    saying I'm too young, I ought to give it up,
