Papa Don't Preach

Warning: contains spoilers for third-season finale episodes "Sacrifice I and II"!!!

Papa I know you're going to be upset
'Cause I was always your little girl
But you should know by now
I'm also a killer

You always taught me to hate Mom
I need your help, daddy please be strong
I may be young at heart
But I know what I'm saying

The god you warned me all about
The god you said I could do without
He's gonna join with us, and I don't mean maybe
Please

Papa don't preach, we'll make trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been with a Greek
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby
Ooh, I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...

He says that he's going to kill Mommy
We can raise a new god family
Maybe we'll be all right
It's a sacrifice

But Xena keeps tellin' me to give it up
Saying I'm too bad, I gotta give it up
What I need right now is some roaring fire, please

Papa don't preach, we'll make trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been with a Greek
But I made up my mind, I'm keeping my baby
Ooh, I'm gonna keep my baby, mmm...

Daddy, daddy if you could only see
Just how many he would kill for me
You'd give us your blessing right now
'Cause we are in love, we are in love, so please

Papa don't preach, we'll make trouble deep
Papa don't preach, I've been with a Greek
(repeat)

Oh, I'm gonna keep my baby, ooh
Don't you stop loving me daddy
I know, I'm keeping my baby
