Paroles de I don't want to play house

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:

Chorus:

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"

Chorus again
