Dottie West - I Don't Wanna Play House Lyrics

(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...)
