I took my girl to go bowling
I took my girl to go bowling
Downtown at the red door
Downtown at the red door
After an argument I started
After an argument I started
'Cause I thought she didn't like me anymore
'Cause I thought she didn't like me anymore
I can't help it sometimes I feel pitiful
I can't help it sometimes I feel pitiful
And of course she's so young and beautiful
And of course she's so young and beautiful
I bought us two glasses of coke
I bought us two glasses of coke
That's her favorite
That's her favorite
And I wanted to make up for earlier
And I wanted to make up for earlier
But I dropped her glass and it broke
But I dropped her glass and it broke
So I just gave my glass to her
So I just gave my glass to her
She laughed and so did I in our lane
She laughed and so did I in our lane
And then she went to the vending machine
And then she went to the vending machine
To buy a candy cane
To buy a candy cane
But right next to that was a boy I knew
But right next to that was a boy I knew
With a spring in his hand
With a spring in his hand
Playing a country pinball machine
Playing a country pinball machine
Called 'Stand By Your Man'
Called 'Stand By Your Man'
I saw him talk to her
I saw him talk to her
But I stayed in my lane
But I stayed in my lane
And played my game steady
And played my game steady
And was thinking of a day
And she was thinking of a day
When I'd be too old to throw a ball this heavy
When I'd be too old to throw a ball this heavy
But I guess I'm young now
But I guess I'm young now
So it's easier to knock 'em all down
So it's easier to knock 'em all down
Then I looked and saw her say to him
Then I looked and saw her say to him
'You're really hittin' that ball around'
'You're really hittin' that ball around'
And so he's lookin' at her the way I did
And so he's lookin' at her the way I did
When I first met her
When I first met her
I could see in his face
I could see in his face
White flowers
white flowers
And cups of coffee
And cups of coffee
And love letters
And love letters
I was sorry to interrupt their game
I was sorry to interrupt their game
But I went and did it anyway
But I went and did it anyway
I dropped my red bowling ball
I dropped my red bowling ball
Through the glass of his machine
Through the glass of his machine
I said 'Are you quick enough to hit
I said 'Are you quick enough to hit
This ball, Mr. Clean?'
This ball, Mr. Clean?'
I was scared to lose her
I was scared to lose her
So I couldn't help bein' mean
So I couldn't help bein' mean
And that ended both of our games
And that ended both of our games
I said I was sorry
I said I was sorry
But my girl left with him just the same
But my girl left with him just the same
I thought how much I hate
I thought how much I hate
When love makes me act this way
When love makes me act this way
I was bent over a broken pinball machine
I was bent over a broken pinball machine
In a blowling alley and I threw it all away
In a blowing alley and I threw it all away
Well it's it all just a big game?
Well it's it all just a big game?
