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 somethin' 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...
