Papa I know you're going to be upset
Cos 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 nees 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
*Chorus*
Papa don't preach,
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
But i've made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby
Mmm mmm
I'm gonna keep my baby
Mmmmmm
He says that he's going to marry me
And we can raise a little family
Maybe we'll be alright,
It's a sacrifice
But my friends keep tellin me
To give him up
Saying i'm too young,
I oughtta live it up
What I need right now
Is some good advice
Please...
*Chorus*
Papa don't preach,
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
But i've made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby,
I'm gonna keep my baby
Ohhhhh
Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he's been treating me
You'd give us your blessing right now
Cos we are in love
We are in love...
So, please...
*Chorus*
Papa don't preach,
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
But i've made up my mind
I'm keeping my baby
Mmm mmm
*Chorus* (x2)
Papa don't preach
I'm in trouble deep
Papa don't preach
I've been losing sleep
Papa don't preach
(Ooooooooh)
Papa don't preach
(I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm)
Papa don't preach
(Don't stop lovin' me daddy)
Papa don't preach
(I know i'm keepin' my baby)HOLLYWOOD LIE
Verse
If I got on my bike and took off my top
could I be a new babe, a Pacific Blue cop
If I change my name into something insane
like Scary Spice, would I get all the fame
Bridge
Would it happen to me if I walked down the street singing
Hit me baby one more time
Chorus
You own a penthouse in Hollywood
sitting on the W
Limousines and wannabe's, polishing your brand new shoes
Find yourself an old rich man
put a diamond ring upon your hand
Let him die with his own big lie
take his cash – I wonder why
Verse
If I made a success with an old melody
would I get access to the industry
Bridge
Would it happen to me if I walked down the street singing
Hit me baby one more time
Chorus
If I hit the front page of Vouge magazine
would I be in your face, if you know what I mean
If I'd be a big star would I come as far
as Drew Barrymore, drive an expensive car
Bridge
Chorus
