Listen Up
Like a sparrow with a wounded wing
Left all alone, to a tree I'll sing
But it can't respond to my melody
And it can't lend me harmony
It's just one my one thin lonely voice
And it's not my choice to be alone
But I've come too far now to go back home
On my own it's no fun to roam
I've got to find me someone to be around
When all these blues get me down
Maybe you've got the time
Maybe you'll share yourself with me
I don't need to call you mine
Just like you, babe I need to be free
And just like you, babe I need to
I Don't Wanna Play House
(by 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 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.
