I Don’t Want To Play House lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
So I went outside to see what they were doin'
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

[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 'Goodbye'"

[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 "Goodbye"
[Outro]
'Cause when she played house
My Daddy said "Goodbye"
