I Don't Wanna Play House

Today I sat alone at the window And I watched our little girl outside at play With the little boy next door Like so many times before But something didn't seem quite right today So I went outside to see what they were doing And then the teardrops made my eyes grow dim 'Cause I heard him name a game And I hung my head in shame When I heard our little girl say to him I don't want to play house I know it can't be fun I've watched Mommy and Daddy And if that's the way it's done I don't want to play house It makes my mommy cry 'Cause when she played house My daddy said goodbye I don't want to play house I know it can't be fun I've watched Mommy and Daddy And if that's the way it's done I don't want to play house It makes my mommy cry 'Cause when she played house My daddy said goodbye 'Cause when she played house My daddy said goodbye
