Standard (EADGBE)

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

1.

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

I maybe 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

Chorus

Papa don?t preach I?m in trouble deep

Papa don?t preach I?ve been losing sleep

But I made up my mind keeping my ba-by

Oh I?m gonna keep my ba-by

2.

He says that he?s going to marry me we can raise a little family

The baby will be allright if we sacrifice

But my friends keep telling me to give it up saying I?m to young I ought to live it up

What I need right now is some good advice please

3.

(1st two lines instrumental)

Daddy, daddy if you could only see just how good he?s been treating me

You?d give us your blessing I know ?cause we are in love we are in love so please

Chorus

(repeat to fade)

Papa don?t preach I?m in trouble deep

Papa don?t preach I?ve been losing sleep
