I Dont Wanna Play House

To-day I sat a-lone 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 to-day

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 to him

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

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
