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 (chours) I don't wanna play house I know it can't be fun I've watched mommy and daddy and if thats 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
