"I Don't Want To Play House" by Tammy Wynette

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.
