Papa I know you're going to be upset
'Cause I was always your little girl
But te should know da now
I'm not a baby

te 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 te warned me all about
The one te detto 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...
