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 good-bye 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 good-bye
