Papa Don't Preach
Papa I know you're going to be upset'Cause I was always your little girlBut you should know by nowI'm not a baby
You always taught me right from wrongI need your help, daddy please be strongI may be young at heartBut I know what I'm saying
The one you warned me all aboutThe one you said I could do withoutWe're in an awful mess, and I don't mean maybe - please
Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deepPapa don't preach, I've been losing sleepBut I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, ohI'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...
He says that he's going to marry meWe can raise a little familyMaybe we'll be all rightIt's a sacrifice
But my friends keep telling me to give it upSaying I'm too young, I ought to live it upWhat I need right now is some good advice, please
Daddy, daddy if you could only seeJust how good he's been treating meYou'd give us your blessing right now'Cause we are in love, we are in love, so please
