I took my girl to go bowling downtown at the red door
after and argument I started cause I thought she didn't like me anymore
I can't help it sometimes i feel pitiful
and of course she's so young and beautiful

bought us two glasses of coke
thats her favorite and I wanted to make up for earlier
But I dropped her glass and it broke
so I just gave my glass to her

She laughed and so did I in our lane
then she went to the vending machine to buy a candy cane
but next to that was a boy I knew with a spring in his hand
playing a country pinball machine called "stand by your man"
I saw him talk to her but I stayed in my lane and played steady
and was thinking of a day when I'd be too old to throw a ball this heavy

But I guess Im young now so It's easier to knock 'em all down
Then I look and saw her say to him "you're really Hittin' that ball around"
And he's lookin' at her the way i did when I first met her
I can see in his face white Flowers, Cups of Coffee , and love letters.

I was sorry to interrupt their game but I went and did it anyway.
I dropped my red bowling ball through the glass of his machine
and I said "are you quick enough to hit this ball Mr. Clean?"
I was scared to lose her so I couldn't help being mean.

And that ended both our games
I said I was sorry but my girl left with him just the same
I thought how much I hate when love makes me act this way
I was bent over a broken pinball machine in a bowling alley and I threw it all away.
