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 somethin' didn't seem quite right today
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 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
Key Change - A
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
