Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
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
 (repeat to fade)
Papa don?t preach  I?m in trouble deep
Papa don?t preach  I?ve been losing sleep
