Lynn Anderson - I Don't Want To Play House lyrics

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 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: 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" 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" 'Cause when she played house, my Daddy said, "Goodbye"
