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, oooh

I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...
