[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
The one you warned me all about
The one you said I could live without
We're in an awful mess
And I don't mean maybe
Please

[Chorus]
(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
