1. Papa I know you're going to be upset, 'cause I was always your little girl, 
Em                                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                D 
Papa don't preach, I'm in trouble deep. 
 Em                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

            Em              C                   D
