Intro:
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.
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.
2. 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 give it up,
what I need right now is some good advice, please ! + REFRAIN
3. Daddy, daddy if you could only see, just how good he s been treating me.
You d give us your blessing right now,
