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
Cmaj7/E                    D/E
I maybe 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

Em   D     Cmaj7  Dsus4  D   Hm7
Papa don't preach I'm    in  trouble deep

Papa don't preach I've   been losing sleep
Am9              Am7   Em         D  C

The baby will be allright if we sacrifice
C           D                  C           D
But my friends keep telling me to give it up saying I'm to young I ought to live it up
C           D                Em               C   D
