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 too him
[Chorus]
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 good-bye
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 too him
[Chorus]
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 good-bye
