I Don't Wanna Play House

Today I've 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 go 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 wanna 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 wanna play house, it makes my mommy cry 'Cause when she played house, my daddy said, "Goodbye" I don't wanna 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 wanna play house, it makes my mommy cry 'Cause when she played house, my daddy said, "Goodbye"
