Skeeter Davis - I Don't Wanna Play House lyrics

Today I sat alone at my 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 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...
