Text: Skeeter Davis. I Don't Wanna Play House.

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
