Today I sat alone by 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 doin'
And then the tear drops made my eyes grow dim.
'Cause I heard him name the game
And I hung my head in shame
When I heard our little girl say to him
Chorus
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
[Repeat Chorus once]
The last "Goodbye"
Goodbye
