1. Papa I know you're going to be upset, 'cause I was always your little girl,
                                D
    but you should know by now I'm not a baby.
Em                                    D
    You always taught me right from wrong,
                                          Em
    I need your help, daddy please be strong.
                                     D
    I may be young at heart, but I know what I'm saying.
C               D                   C              D
   The one you warned me all about,   the one you said I could do without.
C                D                 Em                   D
    We're in an awful mess, and I don't mean maybe - please !
 Em
Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep.
 D
Papa don't preach, I've been losing sleep.
C                     D         Em          D
    But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby, oh.
            Em            D
I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm.
  Em                                   D                           Em
2.  He says that he's going to marry me, we can raise a little family,
                        D                 Em
    maybe we'll be all right, it's a sacrifice.
C                        D                      - C
    But my friends keep telling me to give it up,           
                    D                            - C          
    saying I'm too young, I ought to give it up,
            D                       Em            D
    what I need right now is some good advice, please !   + REFRAIN 
  C                 D                 C                    D
3. Daddy, daddy if you could only see, just how good he's been treating me.
C                        D
    You'd give us your blessing right now,
            Em              C                   D
