Papa Don't Preach

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,

cause we are in love, we are in love, so please ! + REFRAIN .....
