[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 do 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
But I made up my mind, I’m
Keeping my baby, ooh
I’m gonna keep my baby, mm

[Verse 2]
He says that he’s going to marry me
And we can raise a little family
Maybe we’ll be all right
It’s a sacrifice

[Pre-Chorus]
But my friends keep telling me to give it up
Saying I’m too young, I ought to 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 made up my mind, I’m
Keeping my baby, ooh
I’m gonna keep my baby, ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how good he’s been treating me
You’d give us your blessing right now
‘Cause we are in love
We are in love (In love), so, please (So)

[Chorus]
Papa, don’t preach, I’m in trouble, deep
Papa, don’t preach, I’ve been losing sleep
But I made up my mind, I’m
Keeping my baby, ooh
I’m gonna keep my baby, ooh, ooh

[Outro]
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
Papa, don’t preach (Oh, I’m gonna keep my baby)
Papa, don’t preach (Ooh)
Papa, don’t preach (Don’t you stop loving me, daddy)

GENRE : Pop : : lyrics caused controversy and forced conversation about taboo subjects like abortion, teen pregnancy, and religion. Madonna said to Rolling stones : “There were so many opinions. That’s why I thought it was so great. Is she for ‘schma-smortion,’ as they say in Knocked Up? Is she against abortion? It just fit right in with my own personal zeitgeist of standing up to male authorities, whether it’s the pope or the Catholic Church or my father and his conservative, patriarchal ways.“ – : : : : : : : Addressing the controversy about the song , Madonna said to The New York Times : ” Papa Don’t Preach” is a message song that everyone is going to take the wrong way. Immediately they’re going to say I am advising every young girl to go out and get pregnant. When I first heard the song, I thought it was silly. But then I thought, wait a minute, this song is really about a girl who is making a decision in her life. She has a very close relationship with her father and wants to maintain that closeness. To me it’s a celebration of life. It says, ‘I love you, father, and I love this man and this child that is growing inside me’. Of course, who knows how it will end? But at least it starts off positive.” : : : : : : : :. The music video, directed by James Foley, shows the singer in her first “head-to-toe” image makeover, with a leaner, more toned body, and cropped platinum blonde hair.Its main storyline had Madonna trying to tell her father, played by actor Danny Aiello, about her pregnancy. The scenes are juxtaposed with shots of her dancing and singing in a small, darkened studio, and spending a romantic evening with her boyfriend, played by Alex McArthur who had no idea that playing Madonna’s grease-monkey boyfriend six years ago in her “Papa Don’t Preach” video would change his career.

For ‘Parade’, Samuel R. Murrian praised it for treating a “complicated subject with humanity and the gravity it merits”, and having an “ace[s] pop hook driving it”; At the 29th Grammy Awards, “Papa Don’t Preach” was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance but lost to Barbra Streisand’s The Broadway Album.
