I Don't Wanna Play House Lyrics - Dottie West

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
