Tammy Wynette - I Don't Wanna Play House lyrics

I Don't Wanna Play House

(Billy Sherrill/Glenn Sutton)

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.
