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 somethin' 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 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...
