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 cant help it sometimes I feel pitiful 
and of course she?s so young and beautiful

VERSE 
 
bought us two glasses of coke 
that?s 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 
 
CHORUS 
 
______________________________________________________________________________ 
VERSE 
 
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 Id be too old to throw a ball this heavy 
 
CHORUS 
 
______________________________________________________________________________ 
VERSE 
 
But I guess I?m young now so Its 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. 
 
CHORUS 
 
______________________________________________________________________________ 
VERSE (this time only x6) 
 
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. 
 
CHORUS 
 
______________________________________________________________________________ 
VERSE (this time only x6) 
 
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.
