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 too him

(chours)

i don't wanna play house

i know it can't be fun

i've watched mommy and daddy and if thats 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
