Oh, this is worth having, I think. Found at several places on the Internet.


I DON'T WANNA PLAY HOUSE
Billy Sherrill, Glenn Sutton

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 doin'
And then the teardrops made my eyes go 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. 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.


[A big hit for Tammy Wynette in 1967. Also recorded by Connie Francis, Loretta Lynn, Billie Jo Spears, and several others.]
