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 goodbye"      "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 goodbye"
