I Don’t Want To Play House – Lynn Anderson (originally by Tammy Wynette)
By
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 go 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 want to 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 want to play house It makes my Mommy cry ‘Cause when she played house My Daddy said “Goodbye”
I don’t want to 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 want to play house It makes my Mommy cry ‘Cause when she played house My Daddy said “Goodbye”
‘Cause when she played house, my Daddy said, “Goodbye”
