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 - 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
