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

'Cause when she played house
My daddy said goodbye
