I DON'T WANT TO PLAY HOUSE 
Album : Greatest Hits
(B. Sherril / G. Sutton)
Tammy Wynette - 1989


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 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.
