"I Don't Wanna Play House" lyrics

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 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 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"
