'Cause when she played house, my daddy said, "Goodbye"
So I went outside to see what they were doing
I don't wanna play house, I know it can't be fun
I don't wanna play house, it makes my mommy cry
With the little boy next door, like so many times before
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
When I heard our little girl say to him
I don't wanna play house, I know it can't be fun
And then the teardrops made my eyes go dim
But something didn't seem quite right today
'Cause I heard him name a game and I hung my head in shame
I've watched mommy and daddy and if that's the way it's done
