Tammy Wynette - I Don't Wanna Play House Lyrics






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 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.

    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 good-bye
    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 good-bye

  8. T.... ....

    Such a beautiful song.

  9. B.... C....

    If we were to introduce a different worldly species to our world, and educate them, they would need to hear some of these good ole country hits. Can’t go without them!! 🤠✝️🇺🇸

  10. J.... E....

    I love Tammy wynette,she doesn't get anywhere near the recognition she deserves.

  11. J.... J....

    She's live at the Opry and seems a little nervous. But she's singing and not lip-syncing (which nobody with any pride would've done in '67). However, there are a couple other versions on YouTube (the Bill Anderson Show, which is live, and the Vevo one where she's a little older but lip-syncs to a better recording) that I prefer

  12. H.... D....

    Sad song but such a gorgeous voice. She is very missed.

  13. l.... t....

    She looked so pretty here.. and sounded like an angel.

  14. J.... M....

    Jesus Christ and apostles fishers of men
