I Don't Wanna Play House

(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)



Today I sat alone at my window

And I watched our little boy outside at play

With the little girl 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 came my eyes would lame

'Cause I heard him name the game

And I hung my head in shame.



When I heard our little boy say to her

(I don't wanna play house, I know it can't be fun

I 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 goodbye.)



(I don't wanna play house, I know it can't be fun

I 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 goodbye...)
