Papa Don’t Preach Lyrics » Madonna
[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

About Madonna’s Papa Don’t Preach from True Blue (1986)
Madonna’s
controversial
hit hated by many, including feminists, and loved by others, was
inspired by
gossiping teenagers overheard by songwriter Brian Elliot. Depending on how one views this song, it could be said to tell a story of a girl passing from the control of her father to the control of her boyfriend, her pregnancy having curtailed her life chances.
More recently, feminists have argued that a strong woman should be the person she wants to be. This may involve having a baby, whatever the circumstances, motherhood being a source of power that should be celebrated. Therefore the girl in this song is asserting herself, rejecting her father’s control of her, choosing the boy she wants despite her father’s disapproval and deciding her own future.
Listeners can decide their own interpretation.

FAQs About Papa Don’t Preach
Translations:
Portuguese Translation
What have the artists said about the song?
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.“ – Madonna via
Rolling Stone
Has Madonna ever adressed the controversy around the song?
Yes.
To The New York Times
she said:
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.
