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
(Papa don't preach), I'm in trouble deep
(Papa don't preach), I've been losing sleep.
