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 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 good-bye.
 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 good-bye.
