I took my girl to go bowling downtown at the red door
after an 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
(x8)
I bought us two glasses of e
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
(x8)
she laughed and so did I in our lane
and then she went to a vending machine
to buy a candy cane
but right 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 my game steady
and was thinking of a day
when I d be too old to throw a ball this heavy
(x8)
but I guess I m young now
so it s easier to knock em all down
then I looked 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 could see in his face
white flowers
and cups of coffee
and love letters
(x4)
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
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
(x8)
and that ended both of 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
(type 2) (x8)
well isn t it all just a big game?
*This song is pretty simple and I m pretty sure my tab is right.*
