Artist/Band: Tammy Wynette
Lyrics for Song: I Don't Wanna Play House
Lyrics for Album: Essential Tammy Wynette [Sony] [2004]



(by Billy Sherrill/Glenn Sutton)



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 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.
